Before the Fair:
• Prepare your resume and get it reviewed by
CACS staff.
• Research the companies in attendance.
• Think of a one-minute “infomercial” about your
employment goals and qualifications and practice
saying this out loud to someone.
• Prepare or dry clean your most appropriate
business professional attire.
• Check the UW2Career database to see if any
employers are conducting interviews.
During the Fair:
• Be confident, act professionally and be enthusiastic when talking with employers.
• Ask several question about potential opportunities.
• Ask for contact information from anyone you talk with for communicating afterwards.
• Jot down notes after each interaction; it is very difficult to remember specifics later.
After the Fair:
• Organize all the material and notes into a notebook or file.
• Send a follow-up email or note to any company recruiters you spoke to and thank
them for their time and information.
• Select and pursue companies that appealed to you.
• Check back with the UW2Career database to see if any employers are conducting
