Job fairs are employers' territory.
With so many employers contending for candidates, it would be easy to assume that employers are there for you. While this is true in a sense, it's more the other way around. You are there for them, and you are competing with hundreds maybe thousands of other job seekers. You're in employers' territory, just as you are when you attend interviews at their offices.
