Building your network is crucial, and you can benefit from meeting with professionals in your industry even if you are not applying for an internship or looking for jobs. Attending a career fair can help you with connections, confidence, and interviewing skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and make sure that it is tailored for the communications industry. You can attend the CDC\u2019s R\u00e9sum\u00e9 &amp; Cover Letter Seminar, schedule an appointment, visit us during drop-in hours, or send us an email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn as much as you can about the companies participating. Learn about their mission, culture, and values; what they do; products and services; current projects; and locations.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Practice your elevator pitch. Be prepared to introduce yourself effectively by sharing who you are, your qualifications, and why you are interested in the company.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dress professionally. Traditionally, males wear a suit or blazer, a long-sleeved button-down shirt, dress shoes, dress socks, and a belt. Females wear a formal skirt and top or a suit with closed heels. Accessories, such as earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, should not be distracting. If you don&#8217;t have professional clothes, please send us an email at nhcdc@syr.edu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><article id=\"faq-block_66b12f2321820\" class=\"faq--item\">\n   <div class=\"faq--question\">Are employers able to see my r\u00e9sum\u00e9?
