Career fair recruiters will be most attentive at the start of the fair. Get there early to beat the crowds, make a punctual first impression, and have plenty of time to meet with all the representatives on your priority list. Arriving early will also give you time to see where each company is located and to map out the order that you will meet them in. Make it known that you want to be there. Putting out positive vibes will make it seem like you're ready to work on whatever task a prospective employer gives you. When you meet a potential employer, you can introduce yourself, then say something like, "I was really looking forward to hearing more about your company." When meeting with potential employers, a strong handshake is the best etiquette. Be polite when talking to career fair representatives; listen to what they have to say, don't interrupt, and avoid using slang language, as it will make you seem unprofessional. If the representative has samples or giveaway items like pens or magnets, only take one. A great question to start with is, "What's your favorite part about working for this company?" It's a casual question that shows you're truly interested in playing a positive role in the company or organization. Use your pen and paper to write down important details like phone numbers and contact names. Creating a contact list will make it easier for you to review the positive and negative aspects you learned from various career recruiters and follow up with representatives after the fair. You can also collect business cards and company brochures.

Summary: Get there early. Be enthusiastic. Be polite and respectful. Ask the questions that you prepared. Take notes.

The skirt should not be too short. Ideally, it will fall at least two inches above the knee. Avoid mini-skirts or any skirt that is too tight. Your pants should also be full-length pants, not capris. Pair your skirt or slacks with a nice blouse or dress shirt. You may also wear a clean sweater. Instead of pants or a skirt, you might wear a dress. Make sure that the dress is not too revealing. No slits up the thigh. Make sure that the dress is not a shiny cocktail dress or anything provocative like that. If the dress shows off your arms or shoulders, you should pair it with a sweater or another shirt. Don't wear flip-flops or anything similar. Avoid sneakers. Instead, wear a nice pair of shoes. The shoes do not need to have a heel. If the shoes have a heel, make sure it is not too long. You want your clothes to fit you properly but not be too revealing. Depending on your wardrobe, this could be difficult. As a general rule of thumb, if you wore something out to a club or on dates, then it might not be appropriate for a court hearing. You do not want anything too provocative. Do not wear low-cut shirts or super-tight clothes. Watch out for plunging necklines on dresses. You're not trying to date the judge. Imagine what your grandmother would say if she saw you in your outfit. If grandma would not approve, then neither will the judge. Avoid "messy" looking hair. Instead, aim to keep your hair out of your face. You can wear your hair in a neatly brushed ponytail or put your hair in a bun. Use clips and barrettes, if need be, to keep the hair out of your face. Needless to say, if you need to use barrettes or an elastic for a ponytail, make sure that they are conservative. Boring is best. No "Hello Kitty" or flashy rhinestone barrettes are needed. You do not need to wear makeup if you do not want to. Simply make sure to wash your face. If you choose to wear makeup, less is more. The same principle applies to nails. Try to avoid long acrylic nails or nails painted in flashy colors. You don't want to give anyone a reason to think you are anything but a boring, upstanding member of society.
Summary: Wear a skirt or slacks with a blouse. Choose nice shoes. Check for fit. Style your hair appropriately. Keep makeup conservative.
