Strategically navigating a 91视频 Career Fair, where you'll have the rare opportunity to meet 120+ employers specifically interested in 91视频 students, can do wonders for your future job prospects.

Abraham Lincoln once famously said 鈥済ive me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.鈥
When attending a 91视频 Career Fair, don鈥檛 just show up. Do some research beforehand that will help get you in front of the right people, and see which employers align with your career interests and goals. Spend some time developing questions to prospective employers鈥搉ot only will you stand out for having gone the extra mile, but you鈥檒l plant the seeds of an ongoing relationship.

That said: you鈥檒l be walking around quite a bit and shaking hands with prospective employers. You鈥檒l have your hands full with all of the useful information you鈥檒l glean from the event鈥搚ou don鈥檛 also literally need your hands full!
If you鈥檙e running on four hours of sleep and skip breakfast, chances are you won鈥檛 make as positive of an impression as the version of you that is well-rested, properly hydrated, and ready to take on the world. And don鈥檛 forget to dress for success!
While it's technically possible, it's highly unlikely that you'll be hired on the spot. Within a day or two, be sure to send thank-you emails to every person you met with. Even if you thought that person鈥檚 employer wasn鈥檛 for you, they may be a few interviews away themselves from being at your dream company.
While it鈥檚 tempting to send generic emails to save time, personalization will really help you stand out. Whether it鈥檚 referencing something you discussed in-person or highlighting a specific aspect of a particular company (or better yet, both!), taking the time to show that you mean business may go a very long way鈥攁nd regardless of the outcome, is a great professional quality that will take you far in any industry.
Keep that positive momentum going by 鈥攆rom joining or staying active in a Career Community to regularly scouring Handshake for positions that truly speak to you, consistent and focused action will take you far鈥攁nd eventually into that role that is perfect for you.
