When it comes to attending a job fair, my one piece of advice is to prepare. Being prepared will better your chances of walking out with a new connection, an interview, or even a job offer.
Follow these simple steps to get job fair ready:
Revise Your Resume: Go and see your career advisor or a peer advisor at the Career Center to review your resume and provide feedback.
Do Your Research: Research the companies that interest you and have specific questions ready for each. This will help you engage the representatives at the fair and express your knowledge of their companies.
