I recently attended a career fair at my alma mater for the company I work for. It was fun seeing professors and classmates on the other side of the table. Although, after only a few minutes there I asked myself, "Was I really this awkward and nervous last year?" Just relax and enjoy talking to people about their jobs and the companies that they work for. Dress nicely, I saw more suits this year then in past years so you may want to step it up a notch. Bring some resumes in case you haven't already submited yours online to the campus recruiting site or directly to the company. You have nothing to worry about. I was pretty nervous answering questions about my job, company, and future expectations. I didn't want to mess up just as much as the interested students wanted to make a flawless impression. Nobody is perfect and you and the recruiters will make mistakes. To prepare, be sure to research the company through their website, figure out some questions that you want to ask (what kind of positions do new college graduates typically fall into, what will you do in a given day, what is the company culture like, etc), and attend any "meet the employer" events prior to the career fair. The biggest thing is to just relax and be yourself. I hated it when profs, parents, and anyone else told me this in the past few years because it's much easier said then done. Do it anyway (if you can, totally up to you though).
