What is a typical Career Fair day like?
Answer:
Specific schedules of each fair vary slightly due to the availability of the donated event space. Generally, a fair will run from mid-morning until the mid-afternoon, for four or five hours. During this time, representatives from each organization are available to meet with individuals in the main fair area. Workshops and panel discussions are held simultaneously in adjacent spaces, usually classrooms or smaller lounge areas, each lasting from 45 to 75 minutes. Seating is available on a first-come, first-seated basis.
