What to do before the event

• Get your resume ready!
• View the list of exhibitors in advance.
• Research the companies you are interested in and the positions they are hiring for.
• Prepare intelligent, informed questions in advance for those employers that interest you. This will allow you to present yourself as well informed and will capture the employer’s attention.
• Consider creating a LinkedIn account.

What to wear

• Arrive neatly dressed, and appear well groomed and professional at all times while at the event. 
• Avoid perfume/cologne and use mints instead of gum.

What to bring

• Pen and notepad
• Resumes
• Portfolio or clipboard—to store the information and business cards you will pick up

Initiating contact

• Know what it is that you are looking to find out about the organization, and prepare a few questions in advance.
• Try introducing yourself by saying your name and what your major is.
• Remember to smile and maintain good eye contact. Demonstrating a positive attitude and being engaged are very important!

Additional tips

• Attend the event alone—you will be more focused on your job search and make a stronger impression with potential employers.
• Stay long enough to have your questions answered and your interest recognized, but never monopolize an exhibitor's time. 
• Show interest in the company, not just its promotional items.
• Focus on what you can bring to the organization, not what the organization can do for you.
• Be relaxed and have fun!
