Things to keep in mind:

Showing up is a huge part of networking, but the first step to making lasting connections is to show up prepared. Remember to:

• Bring your resume! Leave it with interested companies or get professional feedback for future applications.
• Dress to impress! This shows people that you are serious and gives a polished first impression. Check out Pirate’s Closet in the Career Center for any business attire needs.
• Check Handshake! Find upcoming events, such as these career fairs, and see the list of participating employers for each event.
