Update your CV, making sure there are no errors and that your contact details are accurate. Print several copies to be distributed to HR representatives present at the event;

Prepare pertinent questions that can be addressed to recruiters, especially in the event of doubts relating to job offers;

Refresh your English to avoid stammering a few syllables, especially if you wrote "fluent in English" on your CV;

Dress appropriately: the first impression counts a lot, especially when there are dozens of people in line with us, all with the same goal;

If you've never faced an interview work and you are anxious, a strategy to break the ice is to introduce yourself to the companies that interest you the least. This will allow you to understand how a selection interview takes place before introducing yourself to the reality you really want to impress;

Try to be polite and kind, recruiters meet many candidates within a few hours, try to leave their mark to remain impressed;

Tell your story, your interests, your passions (if you have the opportunity): you are a person full of facets, you are not just your curriculum vitae;

Contact your relationship network made up of friends, relatives and people of different ages, organize moments in which to make yourself known: opportunities can also arise from casual crossings or after a long time from your recommendation;

Stay up to date and continue to train even when you are looking for work with online courses, webinars and live meetings.
