Student Tips for Attending Job Fairs

• 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.
