1. **Research Employers**: Understand the companies attending the event to better tailor your interactions.

2. **Practice Your Elevator Pitch**: Be ready to succinctly introduce yourself and your qualifications in a compelling way.

3. **Print Resumes**: Bring multiple copies of your resume to distribute to potential employers.

4. **Dress to Impress**: Choose professional attire to create a positive first impression.

5. **Network**: Engage with other attendees and employers to expand your connections.
