You may be wondering how you should dress for the job fair. Here are some suggestions:
Men: Dress as you would for a career interview. A shirt and tie is very appropriate, and a sport coat or suit is even better - especially if you are in a business or professional field. Individuals in technical trades can be a bit more casual, but clothing will need to look clean and neat. Personal grooming and cleanliness in either case go without saying.
Women: Dress as you would for a career interview. A blouse and skirt or dress slacks are appropriate, and a business suit is even better - especially if you are in a business or professional field. Individuals in technical trades can be a bit more casual, but clothing will need to look clean and neat. Makeup and jewelry should be kept to a minimum. The event involves a great deal of time standing and walking, so flat shoes would be a preferred choice.
Remember that the employers in attendance are usually dressed professionally and expect the same from you.
Keep in mind: first impressions tend to be lasting ones. When you make contact with a potential employer - even at a Job Fair - you are being evaluated from the very beginning. Being properly prepared and "dressed for success" help you make a favorable first impression.
