Students' Resources
Before the event |
| • Prepare a solid introduction. Prepare (& rehearse) a 1-minute script to introduce yourself to employers. Stay as enthusiastic with the last recruiter as with the first. |
| • Do your homework. Recruiters will ask what you know about them. Review and research the list of participating employers. |
| • Plan your time. Preview the list of employers in order to identify the ones you are most interested in meeting and to prevent missing a key employer that may leave early. Also, allow time to wait in line for very popular employers. |
| • Know what you are seeking. Have one or two specific job titles in mind. Be ready to ask about career opportunities in your area of interest. When appropriate, display your knowledge of the company. Ask relevant questions and express your interest in the company, but avoid asking about salary and benefits. Focus on what you can offer to fit what they need. |
| • Prepare your résumé. Make sure your résumé has been proofed by your advisor and/or your Career Services Office. Print several copies on a high quality bond paper. |
| • Decide on what you are going to wear. |
