In this video, I explain what to expect at career fairs and give some general advice on how to make them a successful event. Schools usually host several career fairs during the school year, and if you're looking for a job or internship, you should definitely attend as many of them as possible. Here are some things to know before you go to your next career fair

Before the career fair:
1. Find out which companies will be there
2. Research what these companies do
3. Apply online for the positions you want to fill
3. Practice your elevator pitch about yourself
4. Print multiple copies of your resume

During the career fair:
1. Talk to your top companies first if you are pressed for time.
2. If you have time, talk to your second or third choice first so you can practice your pitch and feel comfortable talking to recruiters.
3. Maintain eye contact when speaking
4. Ask questions about the company
5. Do not ask general questions that can easily be found on the website
6. Ask the recruiter for his business card

After the career fair:
1. Send a thank you email
2. Add a recruiter on LinkedIn if possible
3. Apply for jobs if you haven’t done so before
4. Check back in for your interview after a week or two
