How to Prepare

Bring copies of your EDITED resume, a pen, and a portfolio to take notes.
Review our list of participating employers ahead of time and do some research.
Wear professional attire. Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.

What to Expect

When you arrive, you will be asked to sign in. Then you’ll be given a program that lists each employer, their location, and more information about the positions for which they are hiring.
Review the program first, marking each employer to which you’d like to speak.
Come ready to promote yourself. Be prepared to answer the question, “Tell me about yourself” with a list of your unique skills and competencies.
Make sure to ask the employers questions about the position, such as: flexibility in scheduling, job responsibilities, company’s product or service, benefits and tuition assistance, and hiring process.
Find out how you can follow-up about the position after the fair. Get the name and contact information for following-up. Be proactive!
