FAQ...
Q. So how does this thing work?
You'll fill out a card with your name, school, and career interest. A volunteer will escort you through the club in search of a media pro who fits your interest and introduce you.
Q. What do I wear?
Whatever. Jeans are fine, but leave the Ron Jon shirts and flip-flops at home.
Q. I don't like the media pro you hooked me up with...
Come back to the front and we'll try someone else.
Q. Last year's event got so crowded, I didn't meet anyone...
Yeah, we lost operational control about halfway through the afternoon. It'll probably happen again, too. So all we can say is, don't be fashionably late.
Q. What else is happening that day?
We host a brief panel discussion with sudents and media pros, then we give away $25 in poker chips. Get the details at the job fair.
Q. Who's in charge here?
Any problems or questions, seek out a volunteer. Their name tags (and harried looks) will designate them as such.
