Career Fair Recruiting Tips

Send a sufficient number of representatives to staff your table; the prospect of waiting in a long line discourages most students, despite their level of interest in your organization.
Be well-informed about the specific opportunities for which you are recruiting or be able to refer students to another contact.
Engage with all students, including those in their first year who attend career fairs early in their academic journey. Many attend to learn about internship and co-op opportunities, begin building their network of employers, and gain insight into course recommendations.
Provide information about key dates for upcoming events at USC (e.g., presentations and interviews). This reinforces your commitment to recruiting USC’s talent through an ongoing presence.
Have a transparent application process. Additional information about the opportunities described at the career fair, as well as instructions on how to apply, should be easy to locate on your website.
