What to Know if you Go

The Georgia Tech Career Fair Team reached out to Tech students who have had success using the Career Fair in their career development. Here is some insight from a few fellow Yellow Jackets on how to make the most of the Career Fair.

The original link to this story can be found here.

"The best advice that I can give to Georgia Tech students is to come to the fair well rested and full of positive energy. Recruiters are interested in students who are excited about the career opportunities ahead of them. Treat the Career Fair as a chance to prove to employers that you are someone that they will want to work with and that you will be an awesome asset to their team. You never know where a conversation will take you, so be sure to put your best foot forward on Career Fair day.

The Center for Career Discovery and Development offers resources to assist students in preparation for the Career Fair. Take advantage of these opportunities. Also check out the major specific career fairs coming up for additional networking and job opportunities.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook for important Career Fair updates and additional tips and resources for success.

Good luck, Yellow Jackets — see you at the fair!
