Has anyone been to a careers fair? Loads of questions...

I am starting to look for work after a short break and I'm going to my first ever career fair next week.

It's at the University where I'm doing a postgrad, but it's mostly aimed at Undergrads looking for their first role. However there are a lot of local companies going to be there that I would love to work for.

I have no idea what to expect though. I'm going to bring loads of copies of my most-generic CV and I have a linkedIn profile so I'll probably ask if the company reps are taking connections.

But other than that, does anyone know who's likely to be there from the companies? Is it likely to be HR people?

And when I speak to them, will it be like a mini-interview or more casual? Should I wear a suit or go in my student-y attire?

Apart from asking what roles/skills they're likely to be hiring for, are there any other intelligent questions I should ask?

Part of me wants to not.go.and.hide.instead because I'm afraid I'll make an eejit of myself and blow my chances. But apparently fortune favours the brave. Argh.

Anyway sorry for all the questions but I'd really appreciate any wisdom Blush.

Best of luck. Smile
