Oh Yes most definelty Advice:
1.) Apply youself, Sale yourself let them employers know that you mean business!
2.) Dress Professionally PLEASE: Don't walk up in there with Flip-Flops, or shorts or anything to that effect! Dress in businees attire you are there to land job not kick it with Friends
3.) If you have Resumes bring plenty of them to pass out to the employers
I'm sure they have entry-level positions as well as higher positions available, Ask questions and you will get answers.

I've been to a job fair where there are several companies and businesses set up with applications, job availabilities, information on their company, someone to talk to you, and there might be places like hospitals set up that have learning programs, ie nursing programs, etc. If you're looking for a job or if you just want to see what's out there, it's good to go to job fairs. Even just the practice of filling out applications is a good reason to go. I would take your resume, and a portfolio if that is applicable to the kind of job you're interested in. I would also dress neatly. You don't have to wear a suit, but don't dress in bummy clothes, either. Good luck!

They are all a little bit different. Some of them involve a variety of companies, while others are just for one employer (that seems to be the case with your factory fair.)
Usually there is a public area with info about available jobs, company literature, and little giveaways. Sometimes there is also a private area where recruiters can conduct interviews with promising attendees.
Bring copies of your resume and a writing implement in case you need to complete any documents. Dress appropriately for a job interview, since that is essentially what you will be attending.
Good luck.

Job fair is lots of employers in one place looking to hire .
Saves applicants from running all over town to get in multiple applications .
Lets employers get more applications to choose from .
Prepare as you would for any job interview ,
Just take some Red Bull to get you through a bunch of them .
