"Remember, as the companies are interviewing you to see if you’re a good fit for them, you’re also trying to see if they’re a good fit for you."
"Remember that you will always get what you put in, if you put in the work to better yourself, learn, and show what you have to offer, people will see that and they will want to work with you because of your drive and motivation!"

"a recruiter asked about the critical path method and other project management techniques that I have just learned in one of my courses. I was unprepared to go into detail... but it has helped me to be extra prepared for future career fairs."
"All the recruiters were friendly, and some of them were Rutgers Alumni! Recruiters provided me with an insight into the hiring process, which was not available online, which gave me an advantage over other candidates."

"I learned that having an elevator pitch ready isn’t a suggestion, it’s a rule. You have 1-2 minutes to sell yourself and make yourself stand out to the recruiter. Don’t be afraid to brag about yourself a little."
"After talking with many professionals and company representatives, I was able to see which industries interested me and what direction I wanted to take as I begin my professional career."

"Be confident in yourself whether you are a first year student or a grad student. This is our home game and companies want you, Rutgers students, to be a part of their team!"
"I learned is that recruiters are people too. Just have a conversation with them and if you have trouble ask about their day, how their experience has been at the fair. This definitely helped me calm down."

"decide which companies you want to introduce yourself to, specifically researching what kind of roles they have currently available and what about their organization as a whole appeals to you."
