Does anyone have a recommendation on a good company for job fair prep? I am going to do my best to shake some hands, and would like to be as polished as possible for when the time comes. Thanks!

That said, I am very against job fairs. There is nothing but anecdotal evidence on both sides of the fence to prove or disprove they have any influence in getting hired: Jonny over here went to a job fair and got hired by airline X, it MUST have been the job fair. Tommy went to 3 job fairs, none of those airlines called but instead got hired by airline Y that wasn't even present. Job fairs are crap.
I went to 3. From my perspective it appeared that the organizer was making money hand over fist. The airlines making billions in profits got a free pre-interview, and the guys with the least money were the ones footing the bill. It just felt wrong to me.

I don't think anybody does job fair prep; however, the information you get from interview prep would likely be more than enough for a job fair.

Hey! I would recommend Centerline Interview Prep for any/all of your preparation needs. I just completed the Delta interview on 7/30 and received the conditional job offer. The assistance I received (especially for the panel interview) was invaluable, not sure how I would have done without it. Good luck.

Would you mind sharing what the job fair experience was like at WAI? What questions they were asking, or other insight they gave into what they like to see on the resumes? Thanks!

Pretty much what tunes said. It was just a basic one on one interview. And a way for them to see what you are like. They make lots of note on your resume. I had a one on one with BK from United so those are the types of people you could possibly be meeting with so its in your best interest to treat it as an interview.
