60-point rubric
Content Accuracy · 15
Facts are specific, current, and sourced. You answer from the research rather than inventing a number.
Visual Communication · 15
Poster and handout match, read clearly, and help visitors find the important information.
Delivery · 15
The pitch is complete, understandable, and adjusted to the visitor rather than read word for word.
Professionalism · 15
You greet visitors, stay engaged, maintain the booth, and participate in the visitor round.
A strong answer when you do not know: I do not know yet. I would check the BLS profile, CareerOneStop, or the source log before giving you a number.
