  • Be Ready to Network!

    First impressions matter. A firm handshake, eye contact, and a confident introduction can go a long way when meeting employers. A simple "Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I have experience in [Field]. I’m really interested in learning more about opportunities with your company" is a great way to start a conversation.

    Know Your Resume

    Be familiar with what’s on your resume and be prepared to discuss your experience with employers. Need help with talking points? ChatGPT is a great tool for practicing how to introduce yourself and highlight your skills. You will not be able to print your resume on site. Plan ahead!

    Consider creating a resume QR code!

  • This is not a suit-and-tie event, but we encourage you to dress as you would for an interview. Think casual yet professional:
    • A button-up or polo shirt with slacks or neat jeans
    • A sweater or blouse with dress pants or a skirt
    • Other polished, comfortable attire suitable for a professional setting

    The most important part is that you feel comfortable to put your best foot forward.
