Prepare for Career Fairs
Create a Strong Resume
- Have your resume reviewed at The Career Center (hours here).
- Bring multiple copies of your resume (there is not a place to print in the Union).
Prepare Your Elevator Speech
Your elevator speech is your quick, personal-selling statement. This 30-second pitch should help make a good first impression. Include your name, major, and classification, as well as your interest in the organization or the position. Be sure to ask a relevant question to the recruiter.
