Tips for a Career Fair

"Tips" implies several, but I've got two. These are what worked for me.

  1. Know what the hell you are talking about. Research the organizations and some relevant peices of currect events that the firm/ organization/ agency is working on or would be affected by. Basically, be able to talk a little bit of shop in your table talk.
  2. For the job you want, be the first person at the table and be freaking memorable. You've got one shot at this. Get there early as employers are setting up. When the target looks settled, get over there ASAP. The first person is memorable. The last person may be, if the person at the table isn't tierd of talking to 50 billion strangers by the end of the day.
