Career Fair Preparation

Why attend a Career Fair? The answers are simple:

  • To learn about specific employers
  • To explore your career options
  • To research areas of interest
  • To establish personal contact with employers
  • To practice your interviewing skills informally
  • To apply for jobs and internships

     

    Why do employers attend Career Fairs?

  • Provide job openings and company information to solicit applicants and maintain visibility on campus
  • Discuss company benefits
  • Invite students to on-campus and/or on-site interviews
  • Make connections and extend job offers


    To get the most out of a Career Fair it is helpful to:

  • Research employers and positions in advance
  • Identify how your background connects to employers' needs
  • Write a 30 second introduction: starting with your name, major, interest in company, and your intentions
  • Have a plan for navigating the fair to ensure you meet with the employers you targeted
