Make the most of your time at the Fair by...

Networking

with Employers - bring along up-to-date copies of your CV, even tailor your CV to companies you are really interested in - but don't expect to be hired on the spot.

Asking for the names of the company reps you speak to. This will help when you phone the company for more information, and may well give you added credibility as a reference point in a covering letter or at interviews.

Planning your day in advance - know what employers are attending. Do your research and be well informed.
Dressing appropiately - comfortable, but smart. Don't forget first impressions last.
Picking up a map of the event & target the companies you are really intersted in first! Then look at the other employers in attendance - don't dismiss an employer at first glance as many graduate recruiters employ students from all disciplines.
Asking questions - It shows an interest in what the employer has to offer but also that's why the reps are there.
Holding onto the publicity brochure for future reference. You may need it for contact information.
Checking for materials that may have been left by the exhibitors. May come in useful if called for an interview.
Visiting the CV/Applications Clinic at the event & get your CV reviewed professionally.
Attending presentations / workshops held on the day to help you with your applications & interviews. You will also pick up some insights into what employers are looking for!
Not getting distracted by freebies - don't forget why you are there... securing your first graduate job!
