The question

I’m attending a job fair and I want to know how I can best prepare myself, what I need to bring (résumés, business cards, etc.) and what I can expect. How do job fairs work and what are my chances of gaining employment from one of them?

The answer

Job fairs are hiring events organized by business, trade or human resource associations, specific businesses, business schools, or public-sector organizations, where a number of prospective employers purchase booths and send representatives and sometimes guest speakers to promote their organizations or companies to prospective employees and managers. The whole point of job fairs is for employers to attract the best and brightest candidates to fill current and future positions.
