毕业生就业情况是每所美国大学都极其关注的，也会竭尽所能的为自己的学生求职提供各种机会。大多数大学都会不定期举办校园招聘会，这种大型的招聘会上，经常有几百家公司会参加，寻找对他们的职位感兴趣的同学，比如百事集团，沃尔玛，微软等。这里提供一些参加招聘会的小贴士供同学们参考：

1．提前进行调研

美国大学都会在展会前几周就发出参展机构名单，一定要提前到雇主的官方网站详细察看公司介绍，职位空缺及要求，然后列出一个按优先级排列的意向机构清单。真正面谈的时候，也可以因为事先了解到的知识和展现出来的真正兴趣，给面试官留下更好的印象。

2．正式着装，展示专业形象

找工作时给人的第一印象极其重要，最简单的方法就是参加展会要着商务装。对男士来说，应该是黑/海军蓝的西装，系扣领衬衫打底，并打领带。女士的话，要正装上衣配裙子或西裤，平跟或低跟正装皮鞋，画简单的淡妆。此外，一定要带好专业的文件夹，来装你的简历及其他资料。

3．保持镇定与自信

对学生来说，招聘会有可能给人压力山大的感觉。不要担心，先花些时间随意的转转，熟悉一下环境。可以坐下来在展会地图上标注下自己想去的展位，再回顾下自己的简历。要知道雇主非常期待和你面谈，来了解你这个人，所以不要惧怕和他们的谈话，尽量表达你对职位的兴趣。别忘了握手，微笑，自我介绍时与对方目光的接触，并且面谈时要保持很投入的态度。

Most students go to university in the hopes of being able to qualify for a career after graduation. A student can use the skills that he learns in his classes to excel in a future career after he graduates. How can students begin to find a career?

Most universities help with this by having career fairs throughout the year. During these huge fairs, recruiters from hundreds of companies, such as PepsiCo, Walmart, and Microsoft, come to campus to look for interested students. These companies all set up tables and booths in a large space to attract interested students and provide information about their company and their opportunities. Seeing all these companies in a row can be very intimidating for students so here are some tips for navigating a career fair:

1. Do your research beforehand

A few weeks before the career fair, most universities will publish a list of the companies that will be attendance. Students can look over this list and see which companies interest them and why by browsing the companies’ websites. They can also see the types of positions and job openings the companies are looking to fill. Students can prioritize which companies they want to speak with. When they finally go to the career fair, they can impress recruiters with their knowledge and genuine interest in the recruiter’s company by asking meaningful questions.

2. Dress to impress!

When it comes to looking for a job, first impressions are very important. The easiest way to look like a good candidate for hire is to dress in business attire. For men, this is a black or navy suit with a matching jacket, a button down shirt with a tie, and black dress shoes. For women, a similar suit with a skirt or pants, closed-toe dress shoes that are either “flats” or have a low heel, and hair and makeup that are neat but not too flashy. Of course, no business outfit is complete without a professional portfolio to keep papers and lots of copies of your resume.

3. Stay calm and confident

Career fairs can be overwhelming seem like a lot of pressure for a student. There are so many people and so many companies! Don’t be afraid to walk around the booths just looking for a few minutes to acclimate yourself to the environment. Sit down and look over the map of the booths, circling the booths you want to make sure to visit as well as taking a moment to review your notes and your resume. Recruiters want to meet you and get to know you so don’t be afraid to talk to them and express interest in their company. Don’t forget to shake their hand, smile, and make eye contact when you introduce yourself and to remain engaged and interested when talking to them.
