It's a good idea to do a little research in advance. Pick a few companies from the list and learn more about them online. The more you know about the company, the more you can converse with them at the event!
If you have kids, make sure you arrange for a baby sitter. No children will be allowed into the event.
BB&T Center conducts a security check at the door. The job fair organizers have asked that big purses be left at home. The less stuff that security has to check at the door, the quicker the lines will move.
