So should I talk alot about myself or ask more questions?

What else do I need to do to?

Answer 1

resume--I suppose I should bring several copies right? ------------- Yes, In a nice folder

I'm an accounting major. What can I talk about that will be impressive? ---- In accounting there is nothing really impressive but understanding the accounting software and the accounting ethics are good

Career goals? --- That is up to you... Where do you want to go. Private or public...

So should I talk a lot about myself or ask more questions? ------------ I think that you should ask questions but do the research on the ones that are going to be there... Talking about yourself may lead a bad impression so only answer the questions if they ask you...

What specific questions should I ask?---- That depends... If they are looking for people now or are they looking for internships... When do you need to apply etc...

What else do I need to do to?---- Breathe, dress professionally, and bring resumes.... make sure you do your homework when it comes to what you are looking for in a company... Your university should have a list completed and information sheets on the company...

Good luck

Answer 2

Job fairs are usually information sessions. Wearing nice clothes and carrying copies of your resume will help. As for discussion, ask questions about the company. Explain what you'd like to do in the future. And if you've had a nice discussion and you think you'd like an interview, ask if you can leave a resume.

Good luck!
