   • Even if you cannot attend Networking Night, you can still upload a resume.
   • Submitting a file to the resume book does not register you for the event.

• Dress in business casual attire. 

• Prepare an elevator pitch 

• Look at a map of campus and make travel/parking arrangements if necessary 

• Keep a list of the people at the event whom you would like to follow up with. 
• During the event, some organizations will ask if you’ve already applied to openings on their company website. A few may offer a specific link with instructions on how to apply. 
• Ask for advice. Here are some ideas: Do they have any advice for helping new hires succeed? What is the best way to find a mentor? What surprised you most about your career?  
• If a presenter shares a link or a personal email, take note of it. 
• Do NOT leave early. The organizations attending this event are expecting to see you. 

• Follow up with the industry reps on LinkedIn, thanking them for their presentation. If you applied for an opening, mention which position you applied for.  
• Never ask a recruiter to find you a job. That's not their job.
• If you are selected for a phone screen or an interview, come prepared. If you cannot make your appointment, ask to reschedule.
