What can a Career Fair Do For You?

Career Fairs provide students with excellent opportunities to explore career options, learn about hiring practices of individual companies, procedures for applying for work with these companies, specific coursework required in various occupations, information about cooperative education opportunities, and other preparation for an edge in entering the job market.

Students can capitalize on what the Career Fair has to offer by doing some advanced preparation. Consider the following pointers. Clarify your goals -- know why you are going to the Career Fair and what you want to get out of it. Review the list of participating employers and identify those with whom you wish to talk. Know something about the organizations you plan to visit and prepare a list of questions to ask (this requires some research). Take your carefully prepared resume with you. Employers will recognize and remember the well prepared, motivated students who visit them during the Career Fair; some advanced preparation on your part will make you one of those students.

Why Do We Have Career Fairs?

Career Fairs give students a chance to:

  • Establish job contacts
  • Explore career possibilities
  • Gather information about an employer

Information For Employers

Employers attend career fairs to:

  • Increase awareness of their organization
  • Provide career information
  • Make contacts with prospective employees
  • Look for candidates for specific jobs they are trying to fill as soon as possible.
