my school's career fair is on nov 16th and i am trying to be as best prepared as possible. i've been working at cvs for a little over 3 years and have no intention of residency or post graduate training. on the day of the fair there will be an optional interview portion for 6th year students. i believe this is an excellent opportunity for me to try to lock down some type of full time position right then and there
i've looked at the current list of employers that will be attending the fair. if i disregard the employers that are not promoting pharmacy positions, pushing fellowship/residency, or are too far away, i'm left with 6 solid employers. it is a mix of retail, a pbm company, the VA, and johnson&johnson
my question is how should i best prepare for this fair? should i do some research on these employers beforehand and try to speak to them about how i can specifically benefit their company? is it enough for me to print out several copies of my resume or should i make some business cards? should i wear a blazer or would a shirt and tie be good? i believe i am fairly good at interacting with people. i think that with proper research on each company i can deliver a solid interview/case for myself as to why i would be a good potential hire. are there any other details that i should be aware of?
thanks
