Attending a career fair is a chance to practice your networking skills and gain confidence
in how you talk about yourself and your career goals. This can be especially helpful

yet.

a lasting impression on future employers and gain valuable insight from business professionals.

your network.
2. Attend Free Workshops and Seminars
These are several opportunities to prepare yourself for the Career Fair and the days that follow. North Central鈥檚 Career Services Department is hosting two Career Fair workshops before the event. One workshop will focus on your resume鈥攚hether you鈥檙e starting from scratch or giving it some final polish. The second workshop, Career Fair 101, will prepare you with tools for success during the Career Fair and in the days that follow.
3. Practice Interviewing in a Low-Stakes Environment
