When going to any networking event or Career Expo, you need to prepare. Here are some tips to help: 

1.Manage your expectations- keeping reasonable expectations may allow you to stay calm and ensure you benefit from the experience.

2. Research prospective employers- do some research to find out which companies are sending representatives to the job fair. You can then prioritize the companies to approach at the event. You can research these companies’ values and goals to understand more about them. Hiring managers typically expect job candidates to have a basic knowledge of the company’s services or products, so you may increase your chances by doing some advance research.

3. Tailor your resume-you can create more opportunities by preparing different versions of your resume. Instead of drafting a generic resume for all positions, you can craft your resume to suit the company and job you’re applying for. If your skills are transferable, you can prepare a resume for each industry.
