A career fair is usually held at the local fairgrounds and consists of a large amount of businesses that range from computer companies and retail stores to the armed forces. There are many things a person has to do to find a job at a career fair because the competition is fierce. Follow these instructions to be one step ahead.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate
Step1
Be well groomed. Your breath should be fresh because you'll be meeting your potential employer in person at the career fair.
Step2
Dress to impress. When you're going to a career fair you have to expect to be interviewed on the spot for a job. Unlike just dropping off a resume you're going to be meeting your prospective employer face-to-face so you need to make a good impression.
Step3
Bring many copies of your resume on quality paper. Make sure your resume is current and doesn't have any handwriting on it to update phone numbers or addresses.
Step4
Practice interviewing before you go. There are many websites you can visit that have potential job interview questions. Visit best-interview-strategies.com for sample questions and answers.
Step5
Arrive early to the career fair. The earlier you are the better so you can make a good impression. Many people have trouble getting to places on time and this can become an issue at work. You also get to make the first impression on your potential employer.
Step6
Present yourself professionally. Maintain eye contact and offer a firm handshake. Be polite and pleasant.
