COMING PREPARED • Come dressed to impress • Business formal or business casual • Resumes • Even though we give companies the resume book beforehand, it is still a good idea to bring a few extra copies and personally hand them your resume after the meeting to show them that you are interested in working for them • Bring a positive attitude
