 Females – closed-toe shoes are a must; make sure they’re comfortable!  No jeans, hoodies, sneakers or t-shirts.  No tattoos, piercings or body art visible to the employer.  Minimal jewelry and cologne/perfume.  Females – no short (mini) skirts or dresses.

How can job seekers best respond to/approach the "apply online" or "visit our website" response from employers? The Benefits of Attending a Job Fair Employers still value face-to-face time with you. Don’t be put off because the application process is online.

 Plenty of resumes.  Streamlined or mini-portfolio.  Briefcase or other professional-looking tote bag.  Any other “props” that will make you feel confident and professional.  An open mind!

 Resume Collection – Some employers will interact with you at this level (it’s important for initial connections and gives you an “in” for follow-up)  Interviews – Many employers will conduct interviews—from 5 to 30 minutes, some standing at their table; other reps will schedule you and direct you to a separate interview area.

 Job Offers - A few employers will make job offers to selected candidates. Don’t feel pressured to respond immediately.  Questions at PERC - If you would like to consult with a career services professional, stop by the Assistance Table at PERC.
