    Make sure you guys act like you know everything. Then act like you should be entitled to a 6 figure salary starting off. Employers love that.

    I've found that eye contact really bothers some potential employers. I noticed people were much more receptive when I instead chose a spot to stare approximately 1 foot below the eyes. This seemed to work especially well on female representatives.

    I was thinking about going today around the same time as you, Fitzy. Wanna go around to booths tag-teaming our conversations with employers like in Step Brothers?

    Vikes! Business 101 - We will appear not confident in ourselves alone if we do that!

    We might be able to make it happen though if we show up in very bright colors such as hot pink or neon green... That shows we are confident in ourselves and it should offset us being together

    In reality I just need to take a couple looks at two or three companies online, then print off a few resumes, then I'm out the door.

    Good luck. I've been busy lately and didn't even hear about the career fair until late last week so I haven't researched any companies which is what I like to do. I may not go to this one, but I'll be there in the spring.

    Thanks! We will actually have to meet up some time to shoot hoops or something one of these days.

    Yeah that'd be cool. It sucks Lied is closed for so long. I've played at State a couple times later in the night so maybe we could make that work.
