Here's an article on prepping for a job fair.
The one mistake that many people make while attending career fairs is that they did not prepare for it beforehand. They assume that showing up with copies of their resume is good enough. The reason this really does not cut it these days is because of the huge amount of job seekers attending fairs.

Today a number of bloggers and other media outlets have re-published a list of the most admired companies just released by CNNMoney.com, but not many (none?) have published a list of the best and worst employers. Maybe they don't have the guts. Maybe they're smarter than I am. But whatever the reason, here are the most and least admired companies in terms how they... College Recruiter Blog -
