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
