After you’ve done your research on the employers, create a list of questions to ask.  Some general ones you might consider are:

• What particular skills/qualifications does (organization’s name) look for in prospective employees/interns?
• What is your organizations interview and hiring process?
• What has your experience at (organization’s name) been like?

Show that you’ve done your research and ask questions about what you’ve learned

• I read about xyz on your website. Can you tell me more about that initiative?
• In your opinion, what sets your organization apart from other companies’ in the industry like (name a few competitors)?

Do NOT ask questions that can be easily answered by looking at the employer’s website. Also, don’t ask questions about salary and benefits. A career fair is not an appropriate place for those questions.
