I got the following question from a College student about career fairs: "I was wondering what the approach should be for a student while talking to employers at a career fair?"

In this video I'll break down the following career fair tips for students:

1) Be prepared before the event create a shortlist of a couple companies you are really interested in working for. Become familiar with the mission statements, product offerings, etc this will go a long way!

2) Research company employees working the booths before you commit yourself to standing in line, walk around to the side of each booth and do a little reconnaissance. Find out the persons first and last name then look them up on LinkedIn to see of you can find any commonalities.

3) Dialogue creation you can say something like this: "iv'e been following the progression of your company for the past x period of time. I wanted to come here because my coursework is aligned and I feel that I can add value within X, and Y. I'd love to give you my resume and ask you a couple questions about this specific role that I saw on the job site."

Bonus** Ask for their contact info if you gave the right pitch, they are going to be interested in exchanging contact information!

Good luck! I hope these career fair tips help you land an awesome job!
