Before a Career Fair

• Download Career Fair Plus App (iOS | Android | Web App) and navigate to Eller Career Showcase
• Research companies you wish to speak to before coming to the fair. Learn about their job availabilities, what they do as a business, and their company culture.
• Practice your Elevator Pitch! Don’t have one? Use your past, present, and future.
  • Who you are and where you’re from. (Name, hometown)
  • What you are doing now (Eller, Clubs, Work)
  • What you are looking for in the future (industry interests, possible jobs/location, etc..)
• Come dressed business professional with at least 8-10 resumes printed. Not all companies collect resumes, but it’s better to be prepared. Don’t wait for the last minute to print them – there may be a long line and there could be tech issues.
• Make sure to sign in and receive your name tag and Major Badge(s), this will help recruiters not only hear your name but see it as well.
• Avoid visiting employers with friends
• Don’t visit your top employer first. Practice! Try out your intro with employers that you might not be as interested in.
• Be open minded. A less well known, smaller company might just be the best fit for you.
• Ask for the interview! If you have genuine interest, have done your research, and maybe even applied online, they might be ready to schedule you for an interview.
• Stop by the 3^rd floor of the PDC (Underwood Conference) for a free headshot for your LinkedIn profile!
• Meet as many people as possible. This is a great opportunity to practice your networking.

After a Career Fair:

• Send a thank you email to the company rep you with met, and include two-three takeaways from your interaction about the position or company.
• Connect with employer reps on LinkedIn.
• Apply and Notify: If interested, apply for the position you discussed and notify the company rep you met with in the fair that you've done so.
