How to WIN at a Career Fair

 

Recruiters travel from across the country just to see you. Step up and say "hello!"

  1. Before the Fair – Learn about the companies by visiting websites, writing your resume, and ironing your best looking clothes. Practice your 30 second introduction. 
    "Good afternoon. My name is Jane Doe. I'm a senior, math major interested in the biotech industry. I reviewed your website and am interested in learning more about the opportunities in sales and management..."

  2. During the Fair – Introduce yourself and ask questions with confidence.  Remember, at a Career Fair, you are interviewing them.  During your conversations distribute business cards and your resume.

  3. After the Fair – Follow-up with "thank you" cards.

Resumes: The Career Center provides many resources to help you write your resume. Start with the downloadable Resume Guide and come in any time to visit the Career Ambassadors or make an appointment with Career Counselors. To make appointment, call x.4184.

Attire: According to a national study, over 50% of employers expect students to dress business casual at Career Fairs. Take this advice and dress for the position you want, not the one you have.
