Are you plagued by poor penmanship? Or, are you someone who prepares, and enjoys making a good first impression? If so, consider the following options.

1. Stu knows his handwriting is abysmal, and wants to make the very best first impression on recruiters at the Career Fair, so he signed up for a pre-printed name tag from CES.

This makes Stu’s check-in at the Fair much quicker. All he has to do is swipe his student ID, collect his name tag, and head in!

2.  Stu knows his handwriting is abysmal, but he forgot to sign up for a pre-printed name tag from CES.

Fortunately, Stu’s friend with nice, legible handwriting offers to fill out his name tag for him.

It takes a little longer, but with a swipe of his
ID card, Stu is past check-in, and browsing employer tables.

3. Stu is at the Career Fair, eager to practice introducing himself to employers and look for internships.

He forgot to sign up for a pre-printed name tag with CES, and his friend with legible handwriting is nowhere to be seen.

He scribbles his name, signs the registration sheet—since he also forgot to bring his student ID—and makes his way in to the Fair. Phew!

Even if you forget to sign up for a name tag, or fail to bring your student ID, come to the Career Fair! Regardless of your class year or major, there is something for every Logger!
