Take these tips from employers and make the most of your interactions with organizations at the fair
Do your homework
Employers tell us research is the key to successful exploration. It will
allow you to make the most of your time at the Fair
Make your resume work for you
Spend some time developing your resume. It's your introduction to organizations
attending the fair and the "legacy" you leave after the fair
Dress for Success
Organizations participating in fairs say first impressions count so give
some thought to what you wear to the fair. Consider the type of organization/position
you are interested in and take notice of what employers wear at presentations,
on the organization website or in the literature. Suits or business casual...both
are appropriate for International Opportunities Fair. Keep in mind, however,
"business casual" doesn't mean "classroom casual". In general it is better
to be overdressed than underdressed. Bottom line - you want the organization
to focus on the content of your conversation not on what you're wearing
Come prepared
Your resume will be helpful for organizations featuring full-time and/or
internship opportunties. Unofficial transcripts, reference sheets, a pen/pencil
and notebook may also come in handy.
