Today is the University of Arkansas ­- Sam M. Walton College of Business Career Fair that will provide an opportunity for our students to connect with over 150 employers. Students, this is an opportunity for you to connect with companies who are looking to hire you so please take advantage of this opportunity while you can. Here are a few tips to prepare: 1. Study up on the companies you are most interested in working for prior to attending the Career Fair, learn about their brands, and read their press releases. 2. Prioritize which companies you want to talk to first and find them early on when you arrive. You can browse the list of companies attending and which type of roles they are hiring for on Handshake: https://loom.ly/IwUXawE 3. Prepare questions for the recruiters that you stop and chat with, look them in the eye when speaking with them and be sure to thank them for their time. 4. Follow up and stay connected after the Career Fair, get the recruiter's business card, connect with them on LinkedIn and send a follow up thank you e-mail--it makes all of the difference. I wish you all a wonderful Career Fair!

Brent, Is this mostly for Seniors, or can JRs & Sophs walk the fair to get an idea of the companies who are attending to generate potential, future interest? Thanks! DB
