Getting the Most out of a Career Fair Throughout a career fair, students will discover careers they did not know existed, hear professionals talk about work that excites them, and attempt to persuade others that they are the best candidates for specific jobs and internships. One thing will be consistent: those who are most successful bring a sense of purpose and confidence to their conversations with employers at the fair. Use these steps to identify your purpose for attending. Once you establish a few goals, confidence will follow!
THINK.
1. How will you know that attending the career fair was a good use of your time? 2. What are you hoping to learn at the career fair that would be hard to find out using other methods? 3. How would you like to be remembered by those you meet?
ACT.
1. Follow the tips in “Career Fair Success: Before, During and After”, published in this Career Fair Guide on page 6. 2. Watch the “Top 10 Ways to Prepare for a Career Fair” series we’ve been posting on our YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter accounts. 3. Use the “Career Center Resources to Support Your Career Fair Success” on page 7 for additional information.

Career Center Resources to Support Your Career Fair Success Top 10 Ways to Prepare for a Career Fair [videos] http://goo.gl/rO38R
Career Fair Employer List Become familiar with the employers attending the fair and the hiring needs they have identified. TIP: Take initiative! Ask a recruiter for the best way to find more information (and perhaps an introduction!) if you have an interest in their company that extends beyond what you see listed. http://goo.gl/HmklVI
Duke eRecruiting Activate your account to access the one-stop destination for jobs and internships posted by employers who work with the Career Center. TIP: When activating your account, sign up for Career News, the Career Center weekly newsletter. You can also subscribe to informational email lists that match your interests. If you already have an account, modify your subscriptions by editing the administration section of your profile. http://goo.gl/4L2kF
Career Center Drop-In Advising Use a 10-minute conversation to get customized advice as you prepare for the fair. TIP: Ten minutes goes quickly! Prioritize what you’d like to understand before the fair and ask those questions first. You can always come back, and you can always set up an appointment to have longer conversations. http://goo.gl/yOVWS
GENEROUS FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR ARTS-CENTERED PROJECTS
VISUAL ARTS ART HISTORY MUSIC THEATER DANCE CREATIVE WRITING FILM/VIDEO INTERDISCIPLINARY ARTS PROJECTS DOCUMENTARY STUDIES
Resume Guide Go beyond a list of past job descriptions. Use your resume to present your methods, accomplishments and results. TIP: Write a short list of the qualities that you know your reader will be using to distinguish great candidates from the sufficient. Ask someone to read your resume and tell you how he or she would remember you. Make sure they match! http://goo.gl/SkJ8d
On-Campus Recruiting Guide Understand what “OCR” is, and how it works. This is a valuable resource available to Duke undergraduate and graduate students. TIP: Read the student policies and expectations AND the employer policies and expectations. Both provide you valuable information. http://goo.gl/L1coQ
