Do your homework.<\/strong>
\nDo a little research. Take the time to learn what\u00a0companies, organizations and recruiters will be in\u00a0attendance. Google the businesses that spark your\u00a0interest and see if they\u2019re hiring. Make a list of the ones\u00a0that might be a good fit for you. <\/div>

Dress for success.<\/strong>
\nWhat you wear is an important factor that influences the first impression\u00a0you make on potential employers. Dress as you would for an interview.\u00a0Business casual is usually your best bet for a job fair. Make sure your clothes\u00a0are clean and pressed. Stay somewhere in between casual and formal. No\u00a0hoodies or tuxes please! <\/div>

Bring your resume.<\/strong>
\nActually, resumes\u2026 lots of them! You never\u00a0know. You might only need a couple, but you\u2019ll\u00a0likely need lots. And if you have business cards,\u00a0that’s a plus. Bring those too. <\/div>

Listen up!<\/strong>
\nIn a busy, fast-paced environment, it\u2019s\u00a0easy to get distracted. Focus during\u00a0your conversations with potential\u00a0employers, especially when you ask\u00a0them questions. You should listen\u00a0carefully and take mental notes in order to determine your best fit\u00a0In a busy, fast-paced environment, it\u2019s easy to get distracted.

\u201cSpeed date\u201d employers.<\/strong>
\nUse the job fair as an opportunity to get to know multiple companies in a short period of time. And make sure they get to know you just as well. Pump up your\u00a0ambition, experience and skills, while also asking them questions. That way, it\u2019s a\u00a0two-way street. Make sure you collect\u00a0contact information or business cards. <\/div>

Get the lay of the land.<\/strong>
\nAs soon as you get there, plan your attack. Confirm that the companies you\u2019re interested in are still there, and see if any new companies were added last minute. It\u2019s\u00a0probably a safe bet to meet with your top companies first, then visit others last. Either\u00a0way, having a plan makes it less stressful and\u00a0more productive. <\/div>

Follow up.<\/strong>
\nMake sure you reach out to anyone you connected with at the job fair. Send them an\u00a0email or a handwritten note, or leave them a voicemail. They expect it. And it helps if you\u00a0can remember a small detail from your\u00a0conversation with them. It\u2019d be a great icebreaker for your follow up. <\/div>
