What can a Career Fair Do
For You?
Career Fairs give students a chance to:
- Establish job contacts
- Explore career possibilities
- Gather information about an employer
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.
