>he thinks those matter
Just say hello, ask about what kind of positions are available, talk about your qualifications/why they should hire you, get a business card and leave.

Also, after you inevitably get directed to apply online, send the person you talked to a follow-up email "announcing" you've applied and reaffirming your interest in the company.

Hello, I'm a (insert year here) majoring in Computer Science and Statistics and I was wondering if your company has any more events coming up.

I really enjoyed the presentation and am interested in your company. Are there many opportunities for people in Computer Science and Statistics present in your company?

*he answers your questions and you you nod and smile while he does so*

Wow recruiter anon, thanks for the information, could I get contact information from you in case I have any more questions in the future?

tell them that you're socially retarded, you have no sense of self, no real goals, that you get your career advice from an underground vietnamese rice patty forum filled with role players and frog pictures and that you're basically a confused child stuck in an adults body

then ask them "what do i do, senpai? pls help. i want to learn about stock markets and the economy and be an investment banker and learn technical analysis and be a billionaire how do i do this? also i want an internship"

Also, mention your name, my bad.

And maintain eye contact 70-80% of the time, and give a firm but not autism tier handshake.

you won't really stand out from the crowd unless you have some x-tra curiccs under your belt. if you want to make it in new york city, you gotta get ur jockstrap funky, bro. anything. fucking fencing, lacrosse, croquet, whatever. honestly, you sound like a midwest cornball so best of luck to you, my friend, 3 percent interest on deposits, lending money out at 6 percent, and being able to "tee off at the golf course by 3 p.m."

I've attended maybe 50 of these kinds of events at my school. Only one directly led me to the interview stage without having to go through online application and it was thanks to me making an underhanded comment making fun of some dweeb that was trying too hard to impress a recruiter
