How to get the most out of a job fair

  • Bring 10 to 15 printed resumes and a short list of the employers you want to see, taken from the event listing.
  • Prepare a 30-second introduction: who you are, what you do, and what you are looking for.
  • Ask each recruiter for the next step and a contact, then follow up within two days.
