Within a few days, send a thank you note (email or snail mail) to each
recruiter with whom you talked – especially if you are considering
future opportunities with the organization. Communicate your
continued interest in the organization/position. If possible,
mention something specific about the organization/position that
is of interest to you.

Registering with Nittany Lion Career Network gives you access to
job listings, on-campus interviews, resume posting, information
sessions and more. To create an account, visit www.sa.psu.edu/career/nlr.
Many of the employers at the fair will conduct interviews
later in the semester and you must be registered to with
NLCN to participate.
Network with
anyone
(friends, family, faculty, alumni of Penn State)
who will give you information on career opportunities or job openings.
While these people might not have specific information on job openings, they
might refer
you to influential people.
After the fair concludes, jot down notes about conversations you had with company representatives. If you wait too long, the conversations will start running together in your head, and you'll forget what you said to whom.
Follow up on promises. If, for example, a company representative expressed interest in looking at your Web site, make sure to email the URL like you said you would.
Remember to apply online after the Fair if the recruiter instructs you to!
