Question 2

Research

Accepted Answer

Planning your day will help you to maximize your time and get the most out of your conversations. Check the "Attending Companies" (https://www.businesshorizonsstudents.com/employers)tab to view which companies will be attending on which dates, and filter to your major, class level, position type, and location(s).

Make a list of your top companies, and take some notes on which positions/programs you'd like to ask them about. You will get more out of your conversations, and your recruiter will be more impressed if you have some background information about what the company does.
