I have gotten a few emails inviting me to attend the Career Expo on campus but am not
sure how to prepare for it. Can you help?

Thanks go to the Arts and Science Career Services staff for the information below regarding the Career Expo! My first recommendation is to visit the Career Services website. On the website, you can check out all of the companies who will be
attending the Expo. It is important to research the companies BEFORE the big day!
The Career Expo will be held on Friday, March 30, 2007 from 11-2 in the Alfond Sports
Center. The Expo is an opportunity to talk to representatives from numerous organizations who are seeking Rollins students and alumni for full-time, internships and summer employment positions. It is a great change to learn about the different fields of work available. Start collecting those business cards now!
WHO CAN ATTEND?
Rollins College Career Expo is for the students of all three colleges: Arts and Sciences, the Hamilton Holt School and Cummer. It is often suggested that students attend before their senior year so they can become familiar with the format of a Career
Expo, in addition to learning about summer or internship positions in which they are currently interested.
WHAT TO WEAR & BRING
Bring copies of your resume to the Expo. The dress attire for Expo is "professional" which
means:
Dress Tips for Women
• Suit with a skirt preferable to a pantsuit
• No ill fitting (short, tight, clingy, or slit) skirts
• Closed-toe leather pumps with low to medium heels.
• Avoid open-toe "strappy" high heels, sandals, or shoes with decorations.
• Skin-colored hosiery Briefcase or portfolio in place of a handbag or purse
• Conservative nail polish, avoid unusual colors, e.g., blue or green.
• Understated makeup
• Small stud earrings instead of dangling or oversized earrings
• Long hair pulled back in a neat, simple style. No "big hair" or elaborate styles
