Abstract :
So, the fateful day is here. Your inbox is crammed with e-mails reminding you that you must absolutely not miss the engineering career fair in the student center. Mailing lists you are signed up for are reminding you to check out "Innovation Days" and "Hackathons" sponsored by companies visiting campus for recruiting. Doing all this in the middle of an already overscheduled day when you\´d rather be going to class to learn, finishing lab reports, or just being out throwing a ball around, is a rather unappealing option. Do not despair! Having toiled on both sides-from selling myself to employers, to selling my employers on prospective candidates-I proffer a few suggestions that will make this season\´s career fair, as well as any on-the-spot or next-day interviews, much less stressful and allow you to get the most out of them!
