• Do some research.   The list of employers participating in Meet the Firms is shown to the left.   Go to their web sites and look around.   Learn as much as you can about who they are and what they do.   Attend the orientation.   Take notes on note cards and bring them to meet the firms.   Review the cards just before visiting a table.

• Know what you want.   Audit?   Tax?   An internship?   A permanent position?   The more you know about what you want, the more productive your time will be, and the better you will come across.

• Have questions.   You are not expected to have all the answers!   That is why we have Meet the Firms.   This is a great chance for you to find out about different career opportunities with different employers.
