What should I bring with me to the exhibit hall?
Whether you are focused on obtaining a job, internship or entering graduate school, you should remember to bring several copies of your resume/CV, padfolio, pens, business cards and breath mints.

Prepare to visit the exhibit hall with these 5 tips:

• Check out job openings or current offers through Golden Key for each company/organization of interest.
• Dress to impress - Formal dressed individuals are revered as capable, well-educated, honest and intelligent. Business or business-casual is recommended.
• Maintain a positive attitude - Try to make an impression through your enthusiasm about the skills you possess. Also try to engage the representative in conversation about the company, and listen to what he or she has to say.
• Be prepared with a short statement about yourself and your background. Be clear and concise. Try to hook the interviewer's interest with something unique about you.
• Make sure to obtain a name or business card from anyone you talk to so you can use it as a reference when you follow up.
