Bring a pen and notepad.

Make notes about the employer's name, title, contact info, and the position you are applying for/interested in for follow-up purposes.

Dress for the interview.

With recruiters and hiring managers on-site, it's important to make a great first impression. For men, a collared shirt and long pants/jeans are recommended. For women, a dress or long pants/jeans or skirt paired with a nice blouse is recommended.

Practice your elevator pitch.

When meeting employers, first impressions count. Practice your 30-second elevator pitch (introduction) which includes:

1. Your name
2. Qualifications
3. Experience/education
4. Skillset before entering the hiring fair.

Be interview ready.

Many employers will be interviewing candidates on-site. We recommend practicing common interview questions before the hiring event.
