Leave children and other relatives at home. If you plan to attend the fair with a friend, don't appear to be inseparable when visiting booths. A professional image is easier to maintain if you speak to employers alone. Survey the terrain and plot a strategy. When you arrive, take a quick walk through the fair.
Time is limited, and booths are crowded.
Plan a route before stopping at booths to see your favorite companies. Save visits with the best prospects until after you've warmed up with a few other employers. To make the best use of your time, ask for a list of participating companies a few days before the fair, and rank visits before you arrive. Complete applications flawlessly. When a company distributes application forms, take two.
