FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What's the size of the conference tables? What are the dimensions of our booth
space and what is provided?

Monday or Tuesday during the career fair?
Please contact the Engineering Career Resource Center ( ecrc-info@umich.edu )
to reserve interview rooms.
How do I register for an information session?
Career Fair does not organize information sessions. Please see the Society
of Women Engineers Corporate Information Sessions' website at http://www.engin.umich.edu/soc/swe/cis/companies.htm
Is there electricity made available for us to use in our booth space? Is
there a charge?
While electricity is not extra charge, we unfortunately cannot guarantee electricity. If your booth
absolutely requires electricity, please bring your own extension cord and duct tape, and let us know,
and we can see what we can do, but unfortunately we cannot make any guarantees
How do you place the locations of the companies at the career fair?
We try to place companies
according to who registered and paid first, and if they have participated
previously.
What address should we use to ship our materials and booth to?
Please see the http://www.umich.edu/~engincf/corshi.html
How many students do you expect to attend this event?
We expect about 1/2 of the engineering school to attend, so approximately
3000
students/day. These students will be undergraduates, graduates, mostly
engineers. Occasionally, we have a few non-engineering students attend.
What should we do for parking passes if we are not going to the reception the evening before?
If you are attending the receptions the night before, you can pick up your
parking permits that night when you register.
If not, please arrive early, register and pick up your permit. Once you
have the permit, please park your vehicle and return to the career fair.
We will have shuttles
running to the career fair location. Parking is very tight in Ann Arbor
and we recommend that representatives carpool if at all possible.
Do you have any suggestions for number of handout packets we should
prepare?
We would estimate somewhere between 100-300 for the number of handout packets. We expect
about 3,000 students to attend the career fair total. So for the types of engineers you are looking to recruit, we would estimate about that percentage. However these are just
estimates!
Is there a loading and unloading
area for the recruiters to bring their materials in before the career fair?
We do not have any official unloading/loading areas. We also do not recommend
that you leave your car unattended. If you do have many items in your
car, we
would recommend that you drive with someone and unload with their help to watch
your items.
Is there handicapped parking?
There is indeed handicapped parking available.
Do we have a booth number to mark on the boxes we ship?
You do not need to mark booth numbers on boxes, we will deliver the boxes
to your booth.
Is it customary for recruiters to distribute branded materials
(buttons, pens, etc.) to prospects?
YES! Lots of companies bring goodies
for students.
