What are some tips for attending upcoming career fairs?

Some career fair tips for job hunters include bringing copies of updated resumes and current business cards to hand out to interested parties. Additionally, prepare for the career fair by dressing nicely and preparing an elevator pitch or answers to common work-related questions.

Before attending a career fair, review a list of the employers who are scheduled to be there. This list can generally be found on the website for the school or institution hosting the fair. Review the background of some promising employers and prepare specific questions to ask representatives. Get a business card from each representative and send a follow-up thank you note promptly after the fair.
