Teacher Job Fair Suggestions?

I'm going to one in Dublin tomorrow. I have little idea what to expect. What should I be prepared to say? Should I bring a resume and cover letter or just resume? I have references established but not all their letters in hand yet. Is that okay? What else should I be thinking about to prepare.

Take your resume. I don't think a cover letter is really important because you'd want to write a different cover letter for each job...but probably wouldn't hurt. Take many copies to hand out. Don't worry about recs. Take a bag to put documents you get from your different visits. Take a couple pens and a pad to note who you talked to and what they told you. Bring something to do because sometimes I've stood in line for 30+ minutes for an onsite interview. Take water and a snack and wear comfortable shoes. Most of all, pack your confidence! Good Luck!

If there was a particular district you'd be interested in, you might as well do a short letter of intro for them.  It wouldn't hurt to know a little bit about prospective districts either- again, that's if you have one in mind that you'd like to join.

Best of luck!  I went to the one in Stanislaus and it was rough (that's for elementary though).
