Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything before the Fair?
Recruiters say research is the key to a successful job search. So… stand out from the crowd by taking their advice…research organizations before the Fair. Not a lot of spare time? Pick your top 5 organizations, do the research then add more organizations as you can.
What do I wear?
Suits are always appropriate for the Fair. Business casual is okay too. Keep in mind, however, “business casual” doesn’t mean “classroom casual.” Organizations say first impressions count, so give some thought to what you wear.
There’s so many organizations here… where do I start?
Here are a couple of tips to make it more manageable:
- Before the Fair, develop your “two-minute commercial”: a brief overview of you—your background and career interests.
- At the Fair, get familiar with the layout: take a minute to review the Fair map.
- When you’re ready, head for your first organization, introduce yourself with a smile and handshake and begin your “commercial.”
What do I bring to the Fair?
Bring copies of your resume and pen/notebook. You’ll want your resume as you’re chatting with organizations and the other items may come in handy.
