How to Get the Most out of the Career Fair

Before the conference:

• Research the exhibitors. Don’t limit your research to only a few companies – most employers hire a diverse set of disciplines. You’ll be surprised how many employers are looking for someone with your background!
• Polish up your résumé and make lots of copies. Be sure to put your résumé on the SWE Career Center. All exhibitors have access to the résumé database and many fill the first day’s interviewing schedule by inviting candidates they have selected from the SWE Career Center database.
• Select the outfit that shows to the employers that you mean business. Suits, pantsuits and other business clothing are appropriate.
• Check out the SWE Career Center for tips on finding a job.

At the conference:

• Attend the sessions that help you prepare for the Career Fair.
• Polish up your résumé or do last minute research on prospective employers at the Career Resources Center. This valuable resource, sponsored by Hewlett-Packard Company, is open from Wednesday, 10/13 through Saturday, 10/16.
• Take advantage of the Career Fair’s opening reception on Thursday evening and all the Career Fair hours on Friday to meet employers.
• Learn more about the employers while enjoying the refreshments and fun of Thursday’s Networking Night, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m.
• Be prepared to do an interview on site!
