Career Fair Tips

Planning on attending the Spring 2013 Career and Internship Fair, coming up on Wednesday,  February 13th?? Check out a few tips listed below to make sure you're ready to make the most of it:

1. Have your resume reviewed by a Career Counselor.
Make an appointment via CareerLink. Stop by the Plaza at Lincoln Center today and tomorrow from 11am-2pm, or at the Rose Hill office (McGinley 224) between 1 and 3pm for a quick review. 

2. Do some research on the attending employers. 
Figure out which companies most interest you and make sure you know a bit about them. You'll want to be able to engage the recruiter in a real conversation about the company and the internship/job opportunities they have available. 

3. Come up with some questions for each company you're interested in. 
Write them down. Bring your questions with you, and ask away to begin a conversation!

4. Print out multiple copies of your resume. 
Bring them in a folder so they stay neat. Make sure you have a pen.

5. Dress for Success.
Come to the Career Fair dressed like you're going to an interview. Remember, your first impression is important!

6. Take business cards from companies that you like. 
Make sure to send a follow up or thank you email after the Career Fair to stay in touch if you're interested in the job or internship. 

Finally, some advice from Employers:

  2. Thanks for sharing! Job fairs are definitely a great way to find out what jobs are available. I also recommend checking online and ask friends. I actually found a cleared job online through a search filter.
