"The fair is certainly one of the most effective ways for college students to get networked with employers," says Lue. "Students need to remember, even if the employer they're interested in isn't at the fair, sometimes, through networking, doors can be opened to more possibilities." How should students prepare for the Career Fair? "Dress professionally," says Lue. "It makes a big difference. Research some companies beforehand and prepare some thoughtful questions. I can't overemphasize the research.

The semi-annual event typically draws some of Utah county's elite organizations including local, state and federal governments, Fortune 500 companies and top Provo/Orem employers, as well as area graduate schools. Keith Lue, CSSE career counselor, describes the event as "probably our single largest networking event on campus every semester, providing students with the chance to meet potential employers and introduce themselves." Lue's central message is that students need to plan in advance to attend career events, talk to employers and explore career opportunities.

The other positions are filled by word of mouth." Networking is the key to finding these unlisted jobs. It's not who you know, it's who they know. A few networking tips: 1) be clear on what you're looking for, 2) be assertive and confident, 3) keep a card with your information or web address on it, and post a resume online, if possible. The Career Fair runs from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Student Center Grand Ballroom. All students are welcome.
