Attend A Career Fair

Attending a career fair has benefits beyond obtaining an immediate job or internship. Fairs are opportunities to learn about different companies, organizations, and career fields that you may interest you in the future.

Before attending a career fair, you should be prepared.

Successful elements to keep in mind:

• Make sure you have a polished resume
• Research companies prior to speaking to employers at the fair.  Most fair websites will have a list of employers attending. 
  
• Dress Professionally, you only have 1 opportunity to make a first impression.
• Introduce yourself to employers.
• Master Your Elevator Speech
• Get a map of the fair and locate where you need to go
• Practice your handshake with a friend.

Be sure to check out the these resources Career Fair Tip Guide and the Career Fair Online Workshop.
