Bring multiple copies of your resume printed on a nice stationary. Use a white paper, with black ink. Bring them with you in a nice leather (or similar) note book. Something that will keep them wrinkle free. Also print up a "business card" with your name and phone number on it, a small profile... type of job you are looking for. You might meet someone that you wouldn't give a resume to but could give them the card. IF you take a cell phone keep it on silent, only using it if you must. Wear comfortable clothing, shoes, low heeled shoes, no short skirts or skin tight pants, etc. If you wear makeup take a small case with you so you can duck into a restroom and freshen up. DON'T wear a heavy perfume, cologne or deodorants. I have interviewed people for jobs and find that if they aren't comfortable it shows. Take a few mints with you, that way you can pop one into your mouth just before talking to someone. Don't chew gum, don't carry drinks around (don't want "sweaty" hands), eat something light before you go, no onions or garlic and certainly nothing that will make you feel uncomfortable.
Hope this helps, good luck on your job search.

continuously carry a resume even whether it is a standard one. Be on time for the interview. in basic terms talk once you're asked a question. Smile. Be short on your responses. pay interest to the time you're taking with the interviewer. continuously be courteous. undergo in concepts you're exhibiting appreciate and exhibiting you pick the interest by skill of doing the above. Act such as you're making use of for a CEO at Starbucks and it particularly is the international to you to get the interest.

You might want to get a job application from anywhere and fill it out to take with you. Many job applications are pretty standard and you can have it to refer to when filling one out. That way, you aren't sitting there trying to figure out from what month to year to what month to year you worked all of your positions or your references phone numbers, etc.
At some job fairs all they collect is resumes, but sometimes you do have the occasional one or two that ask you to fill out the application.
Good luck in your career search.

Ah, well if this is your first one, i would bring a phone, a lunch, a sprite or coke and i would bring a lot of self confidence and whole lot of luck... The last one i jobSearch fair that i went too, there were hundreds of people... I waited in line for 3 hours. I didn't get to talk to anyone... There were the YellowBook companies and most top 500 Fortune companies. This was University day and noone told me... I was exhausted... I didn't even get an inverview. I did however get asked out on a date and googled by most of the men.
Best of luck..

Lots of pens, a list of references, and I used to teach my students to bring small index cards with their pertinent info and a sketch of their resumes on the back. It's a seemingly novel idea, but the reason that it works is that they have to clip it to the top of the stack when they put all the papers together, so you're the first one they look at when they get back to their offices.

Several cans of red bull . . .
First impressions are everything and you will need to stay conversational for a long time.
This is no time to just drop off a resume because you're tired.
Hundreds of resumes end up in file 13 . . .
Be well rested, well groomed and ready to chat.

Carry an air of geniune confidence & expectation that you are the best candidate for the position that you want, and recognize that you have just as much power, and the right to choose the right company to lend your services to for the time that you wish to do so. In other words, you're seeking the right match just as much as they are. Your attitude about & your vision of your job search is more important to your eventual success than any material thing you can possibly carry.
