Employers from various fields come to
campus several times each year offering advice about careers in
their organizations and seeking to meet qualified candidates to
fill salaried internships, part time and full time positions. View
our Event Schedules for
the date of our next Fair.
Tips to Help You Make the Most of the Job
Fair:
Have A Plan
- Find out what companies are attending by
visiting the Career Center a few days before the fair
- Determine what companies you are most
interested in and view their websites
- On the day of the fair, 'walk' the fair
and determine where employers are located
Go Early
- Be there when recruiters are fresh,
alert and attentive
- Arrive before the majority of other
students get there
Have a Prepared Pitch
- Prepare a clear, specific description of
yourself, your area of study, experience and what you want to
do
Get A Card
- Get a card from everyone you speak
to
- Write interesting facts, notes or
additional contact names on the back of the card
- Use this information to do follow up
with the recruiter
Dress Appropriately
- Men - wear a suit or nice
pants
- Women - wear a suit or a
dresshirt/sweater (No jeans,
sweatpants, caps, teeshirts, sneakers)
Be Open Minded
- Consider companies you are not familiar
with and that aren't crowded with potential candidates
- They sometimes offer better
opportunities
Follow Up
- Follow up with recruiters immediately
after the fair (within a day or two)
- Send an email or written
letter
- Remember, 'the harder you work, the
luckier you get'
