	Questions To Ask Recruiters
	Here are some potential questions you may want to ask recruiters you meet with at the Job Fair. You will likely have many additional questions of your own, and certainly questions will vary based on the type of organization, agency, or company represented. 1) What types of positions are currently open at your company? 2) Do you have any literature about your company/organization? 3) What are the main skills or characteristics you are looking for in an employee? 4) Describe to the recruiter your academic and work histories briefly, and ask if they are looking for anyone with this type of background. 5) Ask if the recruiter would like to see your resume. If no, ask at what point they would like you to send it and to whom. After a positive conversation, ask about the next steps: application, interview, whether references will be needed, etc. Find out about the procedures for following up on your conversation. Make sure you find out who your contact person should be, if not the recruiter with whom you are speaking. Remember to thank the recruiter for speaking with you. Be polite, positive, and persuasive!
