I agree 100%. Recruiters want a 30-60 second scan of a resume. If they need to figure out what's going on, on the piece of paper then that will take away talk time. Thanks! Great point, Kristan.

Many employers, especially large employers, have so many events and meet so many students in a season that there are not many one on one opportunities to be had. A student's resume is his/her calling card and is usually the only resource a recruiter is able to base decision making on after a career fair. Spelling, grammar, and good organization of the resume means a recruiter can spend more time talking to the student, and less time trying to decipher the resume. Hi Rich,

Not to do this is to accept being cattle at a livestock auction. What I love about this post, Rich, is that you don't sugarcoat the work involved, specifically the strategic thinking, planning, and positioning. Too many candidates think that the tooth fairy's sparkly dust will flow upon them so they stand out and that there's no need to apply intellectual elbow grease. I have done corporate career coaching and do private career strategist work now, and the resistance to information interviewing and networking is mind boggling. Thanks for doing your part to reinforce the need to differentiate to stand out. Well done...I think your posts are consistently well written and on target. ~Dawn (@businessfit on Twitter) This is outstanding advice on how to prepare for career fairs.
