fashion question: What does one wear to a job fair?
I know all you lounge lizards out there, will know the answer to my query. I am going to a job fair this afternoon, and have no idea what to wear. This will be the first time I am visiting a job fair, and don't know if you dress as you normally would for an interview? Any advice would be greatly appreciated... :-)

1. My advice is to dress as if you were going on an interview.

2. Will they conduct interviews there? If so, dress appropriately
I would stay towards the "business" end of business casual. If they're conducting actual interviews, I'd go with a suit or something similar.

If it's just informational and/or meet and greet, business casual is okay. Nice slacks, a clean shirt, shined shoes, etc.

Good luck!

7. I think they're going to have a talk first, to kinda inform people about
the companies, and then do interviews? Its a guess though. Thanks for the luck, I'll need it!!!

3. I'd dress professionally, but not as formal as an interview
But that's just me. I'd want to be comfortable as a walked around the fair.

And take lotsa resumes in a nice case.
