JOB FAIR TIPS

• Dress appropriately and remember to bring copies of your resume.

• Know your resume and your background so you are able to tell an employer what you have to offer.

• Introduce yourself to employer representatives in a positive and confident manner. Smile, project enthusiasm and offer a firm handshake.

• Ask questions about career opportunities, specific job openings and the organization.

• Listen effectively. An employer representative may be able to refer you to another person who is better able to assist you.

• Collect company literature and business cards so you may follow up later.

• In addition to providing interviewing opportunities, job fairs will offer you the chance to network and build contacts. Keep track of the people you speak to and follow up with a thank you note.

• Ask about internship opportunities.
