Review the list of companies

Select the top five employers you are interested in and visit them last

Know a bit about the company before visiting their table

          What service or product do they provide?

          How large is the company?

          Where is the company located?

          What positions are they looking to fill?

Prepare a “personal commercial” to introduce yourself

Prepare/update materials to bring to the career fair. These may include the following:

*   Resumes
*   Portfolio (professional folder/file to hold your materials).
*   Note-pad and pen
*   Examples of your work (displayed in a Career Portfolio-if applicable). 

     Review possible interview questions. (Note: Some employers conduct on-the spot interviews)

    Develop questions to ask employers

      

     Plan your wardrobe: professional interview attire is always recommended.
