Fair Goers:

- Learn the dos and don’ts of the fair
- Practice introducing yourself (elevator speech) and your resume
- Have a mock interview.
- The Fair Prep Party is an opportunity, in 2 hours, to:
Alumni come to campus to help with this – sometimes they take resumes back to their employers and people have gotten interviews, internships and jobs from this.
Since we have alumni coming – we like to know how many of you are attending so we know how many alumni we need, please Join the event so we know.
- Remember – there are only a few days from the start of spring semester until the fair. It is not possible for Career Development to provide one-on-one appointments for everyone. Please attend the Prep Party and other group sessions.
- And, if you have questions about fair – start sending to me. I will answer to the whole group –as others may have the same questions.
