Career fairs are exciting, but they can also feel overwhelming. You’re meeting a lot of people in a short amount of time, trying to make a good impression, and figuring out which opportunities are worth pursuing. It’s easy to walk away wondering what worked and what you could have done differently.
The good news is that career fairs don’t have to feel awkward or stressful. When you know how to approach them, they can be one of the most valuable parts of your job search.
That’s why we created our Making the Most of a Career Fair eBook.
