Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) A career fair is a gathering of representatives or recruiters from many companies seeking to fill open positions. Your goals are to learn more about the company and to impress these recruiters enough to recommend you for an interview. Because you have only a limited amount of time, you need to be prepared to make an immediate impression.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Do not speak negatively about your current job; this is one of the most detrimental mistakes candidates make at interviews. Focus on the job you are applying for as a way to advance your career what you're moving toward more than what you're getting away from.
