How should I prepare for meetings at a job fair?

The best thing to do is arrive on time. Dress very professionally. Have many copies of your resume with you, because you never know how many people are going to ask for your resume when you get to the career fair. Again, there could be 150 to 200 employers at a career fair represented, and you may want to meet with 30 or 40 of those companies while you're there. So be prepared.I would also recommend that you run through some interview preparation before you go to the career fair. And that way when you get there, you're fresh, you're ready to go. You're well prepared, well rehearsed for your interviews, and you're able to walk up to the different booths, shake hands, give a nice smile, and ask for the types of jobs you're really looking for.
