Making Your Company More Visible at a Job Fair?

moszern asks: "The startup I work for is growing to the point where we are need to do some serious hiring. We are toying with the idea of setting up a booth at a upcoming local college job fair. For the most part it seems these events are all the same with nothing much distinguishing each company from the next. Have you ever been to a job fair where a company had a very unorthodox booth or way of attracting potential employees? What would you want to see at a job fair to grab your attention?"

An American Flag

No, really- that's what I'd like to see. It doesn't have to be just an American Flag of course, but some big visible proof that your small business is a part of a larger community- instead of merely taking advantage of the freedom you have to make money.

I'm a senior EE and found my job last semester at a career fair. When I went I looked out for keywords on each company's poster. Try to get the key info about your company visible to passer-bys. When I was looking I looked for vehicle companies (e.g. Cessna, GM, Caterpillar) and electronics companies. If I saw a booth that revolved around vehicles or electronics I'd atleast stop by to chat.
