The Career Fair is TOMORROW from 12–5 PM at the Corbett Sports Center & Alumni Events Center.

This is your opportunity to make meaningful connections and represent yourself professionally in front of recruiters. Preparation is key.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Dress in Business Professional attire
• Get your resume reviewed and PRINT copies
• Practice your elevator pitch
• Research your desired companies beforehand
• Prepare notes so you know what to say when approaching a table
• Take a break if needed—pace yourself and stay confident

Show up prepared. Show up confident. Show up ready. Your next opportunity could be in that room.

Anyone can make a connection, but can you maintain one?

Whether it’s a recruiter, mentor, or panelist from an event, your follow-up matters! Don’t vanish after one message. Let your connections see your growth over time, not just when you’re job hunting! A strong network is built little by little.

Use these tips to keep it genuine, consistent, and strategic 💼💡
