Face to Face
When you’re at the fair, locate your targeted institutions on the floor plan provided and make your way to see them. Be patient, as some fairs can be particularly busy, and wait your turn to talk to one of the representatives. Present your questions clearly and concisely – offer information on your background only when asked and if you have certificates with you, keep them in your bag until they're needed – and take notes if you think this will help you. Don’t forget to take the opportunity to assess the people you are talking to – are they interested in you and your questions? Can they answer your questions? Do they seem professional? Meeting people faceto- face like this is as much about you making a judgement as it is about them providing you with relevant and comprehensive information. Ask for a business card to follow up any queries you may have when you’ve left.
Just one final point – though education fairs are rarely the platform for formal admissions interviews, make an effort and dress smartly! You never know, it might make all the difference.
