◊ Take time to talk to employers. Don’t just drop off a resume and 
   move to the next booth. Take time to get additional information 
   and make an impression. The point is not to see how many resumes   
   you can give to employers in the least amount of time—it is to 
   establish some solid job prospects. Also, try to avoid approaching 
   employers when they are crowded by a large group of  job seekers. 
   Approaching a crowded booth makes it difficult for employers 
   to answer your individual questions, and they are less likely to 
   remember you when they return to their offices.
◊ Do your homework. If you have done research before the job fair, 
   you won’t have to ask what the company does. Instead, you can ask 
   questions  about a specific position or department of interest. It 
   works to your advantage if you can tell employers how your skills 
   match with available positions. Employers want to hire people who 
   are genuinely interested in their company.
◊ Practice makes perfect. It may help to prepare a few sentences 
   about yourself that give a brief, summarized account of who you are 
   and why you’re interested in the position. It should be practiced 
   until it can be said comfortably and effortlessly.
◊ Let employers know you are serious. Greet the employer with a 
   firm handshake and maintain eye contact throughout your
   conversation. Showing interest and good manners is important, 
   regardless of the type of job. Every employer appreciates someone 
   who is dedicated, conscientious and attentive.

After the Job Fair
◊ Follow-up with a thank you note. Experts agree that the follow-up
   is an important part of attending a job fair. If you pick up a business   
   card, or the name of the company’s job fair representative, send a
   thank you note a day or two later. This is not only polite, but will let 
   the representative know you paid attention, are serious about the 
   job, and are the right person.
