2. Research organizations attending the fair: Impress an employer by knowing information about the company. You'll be positively remembered.

3. Practice a strong introduction and hand shake: Your time with employers may be limited. Rehearse a concrete response to "tell me a little about yourself" to impress employers in minutes and make a great first impression.

4. Dress appropriately: Keep your attire business professional. If you are dressing business casual, don't dress too casual.

5. Focus on what you can offer: During interviews or conversation with employers, mention what you can do for the company instead of what they can do for you. Be sure to grab the employers business card and send a follow up email or phone call.
