Thanks for the question.
Everything we said in that blog entry about dressing in a business suit for an interview applies to the Career Expo scheduled for March 26 at the UC Forum from 11:30 – 2:00. Employers attend job fairs because they want to observe students in person – how they carry themselves, how they respond to questions, what questions they ask, and yes – how they dress. Have you heard the saying: “You only have one opportunity to make a first impression?”. Trust us – you will be at a big advantage if you attend the Career Expo dressed in business attire. (And besides, do you really want to be the one dressed in jeans and a t-shirt when others are dressed in a suit?)
Here’s a site with photos of appropriate business suits: www.symsdress.com/occupationfirst.htm
And we will be conducting a presentation on “Working a Job Fair” on Tuesday, March 24 at 12:15in Maher 205.
Good luck at Career Expo.
