Now is also the time to practice your "2-minute Commercial". This is a short (professional) speech about you that you can use when networking and talking with employers. You should spend about 15-30 seconds on why you are here/what you are looking for, then another 15 seconds on your personal (not too personal) and educational background. The next 15-30 seconds should be talking about your early career or relevant coursework/projects/internships. The final 45-60 seconds will be spent talking about your accomplishments and how you can continue to be successful and contribute to their organization.

It helps to think about this ahead of time and even write something out and practice it in front of a mirror or with a friend. That way, when the time comes, you are prepared and polished.

Plan on attending the career fair Tuesday, March 3, 2009 from 3:00-6:00 p.m. in the UNT Dallas Campus Atrium. See you there!
