Preparing students ahead of the event is important.  Hold workshops of varying hours to accommodate scheduling conflicts.  Hit on topics like resumes and tailoring it to be industry specific.  Prep them for having a strong elevator speech so they stand out. Remind students to dress professionally even for a virtual event.  Most importantly, I learned that strong, effective communication and reminders about the event effects campus buy-in and the overall success of the job/career fair.

I really appreciate the guidance of hosting several mini workshops for students before hosting a career fair of any kind. When students speak with employers, they are representing the college itself. We must be able to adequately equip our students with the tools they need for a successful event on all fronts.

Coordination and communication between employers and campus is important for things to run smoothly. This includes information gathering on both sides, activity preparation (resume workshops, etc.), and other element your campus might need for a successful event.
