Want to impress? Here are some Insider Tips to help you make sure you're ready for Wednesday:

INSIDER TIP #1: 
Research the attending employers that interest you to make sure you know about them. You'll want to engage the recruiter in a real conversation about the company and the opportunities they seem to have available. Impress the recruiter with your knowledge about them and they'll be impressed with you! Have questions ready to ask about the specific job or company.

See the full list of attending employers on CareerLink. Click on the Fall 2013 Career & Internship Fair under the "Events" tab. 

INSIDER TIP #2:
Have someone look at your resume! Ideally, it should be a Career Counselor in our office, but if you don't have time to come in, have a parent, friend, or professor take a look. Your resume should be spotless.. and an accurate representation of yourself. The more eyes that look at your resume, the more flawless it will be.

To make an appointment to meet with a Career Counselor, head to CareerLink. Once logged in, click on "Request a Counseling Appointment" on the right hand side of the page under "Shortcuts".

INSIDER TIP #3
Come prepared. This means bringing multiple copies of your resume (printed on resume paper) and dressing professionally.

Stop by the Office of Career Services to get resume paper. We'll also have a coat check/suit check on the day of the Fair if you're worried about wrinkling your suit in class beforehand. Just swing by. 

INSIDER TIP #4
Collect business cards to follow up! Recruiters consistently tell us that the most impressive students are those who follow up. They meet hundreds of students on Career Fair day, and taking the extra time to write a quick thank you note to the recruiters you meet will go a long way.
