To Wing It or Not to Wing

In this article on tips to perform well at a Career fair they make it sound very nerve-racking and top it off with a rigid procedure. I think you should use their bullet point list of topics you need to cover as a guide, and nothing more. I think you should wing it a little bit. After being on both sides of the table at a career fair, I can’t tell you how nice it is to have someone come up that is as natural and smooth as can be. They are so intersted in finding out about the company rather than going over the standard details of their resume or background. Go with the flow after the initial introduction and find out as much as you can about what kind of opportunities are available and if you could see yourself working for the compnay.

I would lean more towards winging it: less pressure, more natural, more beneficial to you finding a company that truely fits you.
