The College of Ag Career fairs are some of the greatest opportunities to land an internship, or even a full-time position. As a Senior graduating this May, I’ve had the chance to be on both sides of the table. I think I’d prefer being a recruiter, however being a student seeking opportunity first was necessary for a start! Here are a few tips from a recruiter perspective that could help you succeed at your next career fair!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure you bring several copies of your resumes! Recruiters use these so we remember who you are and what you’re looking for.<\/li>\n
  2. When you approach the table, have your elevator speech prepared. Sometimes we will start the conversation, but sometimes it’s up to you! Keeping it conversational is important!<\/li>\n
  3. Don’t be nervous. We love meeting new people and having good conversations!\u00a0<\/li>\n
  4. If the table has promo gear, TAKE SOME! Especially if we’ve just finished a great conversation.<\/li>\n
  5. Most of all, remember that companies come to campus to meet you. We are ready to talk about our opportunities and how they could work for you!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
