First impressions are lasting ones, so treat the career fairs that you are attending like a job interview. Come dressed for success in conservative attire, with a winning attitude, and ready to answer probing questions. Wear comfortable, professional-looking shoes designed for standing long periods of time.

Be prepared by bringing the following: a pen, note pad and stack of resumes, along with your list of references. You should also bring a portfolio or carryall that has easily accessible storage areas. You should also have electronic copies of your resume as most employers will want you to submit them directly to their website.

Be prepared to assertively introduce yourself, giving your best handshake, showing enthusiasm and making eye contact with the interviewer. Be concise, polite and direct, as you only have brief period of time to obtain the information that you need and to make an impression.
