Before You Start, Prepare!

Competition Open Jobs Target

Knowing who else is going to be at the career fair will help you prepare better on what kind of

job opportunities others are offering or what kind of swag is

going to be at the booths

Have a clear understanding of what open opportunities are

being offered at the career fair now, what will open out in the

future and what other opportunities are on the website

Be clear about what kind of candidates are you looking for and plan to appeal to them in your conversations. Are you

looking specifically for engineers? Have a plan!
