How to Prepare

• Resume
  Bringing copies of your resume to submit to recruiters is an important part of attending a career fair. Don’t have a resume pulled together yet? Take advantage of our many resources for developing a top-notch resume.
  
  • Our Resumes and Cover Letters workshop, the Resumes section of our Career Guide, and our Optimal Resume tool are also resources to help you create a resume that will lead to success at the career fair.
  • Want to meet one on one with someone to discuss your resume and have your specific questions answered? Alumni can schedule appointments with our career counselors for a nominal fee. Please note that appointments are typically scheduled 7 to 10 days in advance. Contact us to make an appointment.
  • The day of the fair, be sure to bring multiple copies of your resume. Better to have leftovers than to run out before you've had a chance to speak with all the employers you're interested in working for.
  • Need your resume reviewed after the Spring Quarter (June 13th)? Contact us to make arrangements.
• Professional Dress
  No matter how strong a candidate you are, if you show up at a career fair in jeans and flip-flops or looking like you've just rolled out of bed, you're not likely to be taken as seriously as if you've taken the time to dress for the occasion.
  • Take it easy on perfume and cologne, avoid overly-flashy makeup or jewelry, and take a minute to run a comb through your hair and a brush over your teeth. All quick and easy steps that can make a BIG difference in first impressions.
  • We recommend business casual attire (or better) for this event which means the following:
    • For men:
      Slacks, a button-down shirt or collared shirt, dress shoes (no sneakers please, however trendy the Vans-with-a-suit look is right now), a tie is optional. Another option would be a suit.
    • For women:
      Slacks or a skirt with a blouse or collared shirt, blazer or jacket optional. Another option is a suit. Need somewhere to change, or to stash your school clothes while you're at the Fair?
  • Lockers and storage facilities are not available at the fair so consider asking an adviser if you can leave things in their office, asking a buddy to keep an eye out for you while he or she studies at the library, or make a quick run home to drop your things off before the fair.
