February is a big month for our Job/ Intern/ Grad School Fairs.
These events give you a chance to meet a large group of employers individually at one time and in one place. USE THIS OPPORTUNITY!
Job fair interaction can be less formal than a regular interview. But it can be your opportunity to make a strong first impression and get invited to the office for followup and a full-fledged interview. So be prepared with multiple copies of your resume, dress well and check the website to do some preliminary research on the companies attending.
A fair can be your opportunity to ask more questions, gather literature and learn more about specific opportunities with the companies present. Don’t limit yourself to speaking with just one or two employers whom you’ve heard of, or that you think are the most desirable. Employers may have openings in a variety of departments, even if they don’t specifically list them in the guidebook.
Job fairs that are upcoming in February include:

Feb. 10, 2010– Cumberland Valley Consortium (CVC) Job/Intern and Graduate School Fair at the Gettysburg Wyndham.
Feb. 18, 2010 — Central Pennsylvania Employment Consortium (CPEC) Job/Intern Fair at the Camp Hill Radisson.
