1. Research the companies that are going to be there – If possible, look up what companies will be attending the job fair and conduct research about their history, available positions, and the products and services they offer. The more you know about an organization, the better impression you will make on its representatives.

2. Bring multiple resume copies -require that you submit a complete application as well.

3. Maintain a good attitude – Stay positive and maintain a good attitude throughout the duration of your stay at the job fair. Recruiters and representatives are more likely to reach out to those with a good attitude

4. Follow up with potential employers – Collect business cards and then, at a later date contact the representatives from businesses and companies you spoke with, to thank them for their time. You also can ask about the status of a position you were interested in and to follow up on the receipt of your application, which demonstrates initiative and drive.
