Career Fair Tips

Research each company before the event. Prepare a 30-second personal pitch. Come ready for on-the-spot conversations with hiring managers.

👔

Dress for Success

Business professional is expected. A collared shirt at minimum — no jeans or t-shirts. Military uniform is acceptable at all of our events.

📱

Digital Resume Backup

Email yourself a PDF of your resume. Save it to Google Drive, iCloud, or your Files app so you always have a copy available on your phone.

Networking Opportunities

Have smart questions ready for employers. Collect business cards. Follow up within 24–48 hours after the event to stay top of mind.
