Be your self, tell them why you are there(Not just I want job) and ask intelligent question. The goal is to make a good impression and stand out from the crowd for the right reasons.

I believe the stand out point is passing 2 parts recently since most will be Seniors in college.

Whats your point on why I am there? Think they are smart enough to figure that out its a job fair.

Hi Matt1985 Did you look at any of the Big 4 website? If you did, you would have seen that they hire from only two sources: college recruitment and experience hire.

What this means is, if you are out of school and you don't have public accounting experience, you are like me, we don't stand a chance in hell of getting in.

I attended a few of their campus fair and was told this that in no uncertain terms are we eligible.

Sorry again to be the bearer of bad news.
