Do I need a resume?

Resumes are not required and we encourage you to attend even if you don't have your resume complete. However, if you do have a complete well-crafted resume, we highly suggest that you bring a supply to the Career Fair. If you plan to target specific companies and you want to be remembered by the recruiter, some employers pre-select candidates for on-campus interviews based on the resumes they receive during the Career Fair.
