Newspapers and banners advertise most career fairs and participants. Take notes and develop some questions on companies who you are interested in

Update your resume and print it with laser-printer. Don't forget to proofread it at least twice. Make sure to include your current contact information.

Dress professionally and simply. Leave your bulky briefcases at home. Keep your right hand free to shake hands.

Determine the traffic flow and try to avoid crowds. The first and the last people often get more attention.

Observe far from the booth to see who is in charge? Are candidates brought to meet someone else? What happens to the resumes? Does anyone write on them?

Approach the target companies. You can ask questions about the position or department you are interested in. Tell employers how your skills match what they are looking for. Important! Get business cards from the people you meet! When you give them your resume, ask what the next step would be.

After each booth, write down information such as: topics discussed, and who to follow up with.

Follow up with the thank you note to all of the decision makers: HR managers, head of department, etc.
