Students actively seeking a job or internship should dress in a business casual style which includes a shirt, tie, slacks/khakis, or a dress, blouse and skirt/pants. Clothes should be neat and not wrinkled.
Students should also bring about 10 copies of their resume to provide to interested future employers. If any businesses are of particular interest to a student, they should do some background research on the company in advance and come to the job fair prepared with a few potential questions for those employers.
When meeting a company representative, students should provide their name, major, intended graduation date and their objective. An objective can be either that they are looking for a job or an internship and the month and year they would like to start. Regardless of the position a student is seeking, they should listen attentively to all representatives they speak with, be sure to take notes, ask questions and be friendly.
Students not seeking a job or internship, but still wanting to attend, do not need to dress up or have resumes.
