Questions & Answers
- Should I bring anything with me?
Bring whatever helps you stay organized! A pen and paper for notes or a folder to keep business cards can be handy, but it’s totally up to you.
- What should I wear?
These employers know that you're a busy college student, so they don't expect you to dress up. Business casual is always a safe way to make a great first impression, but there are no requirements to dress a certain way. If you want to dress to impress, make sure to check out the Professional Clothing Closet and get some free outfits!
- Will employers be hiring on the spot?
While it is unlikely you will get a job offer on the spot, we still recommend treating this as a professional networking opportunity. Make a great impression by asking the employer questions about their company and even dressing in business casual clothes.
