Default Went to career fair, what is next?

Today I went to a career fair at my school and was able to hand my resume to a few companies, as well as take a few business cards and info sheets from them. What is my next step? Should I send a follow up email resending my resume electronically (I recall at least 1 asking me to) or do I expect them to actually get in contact with me (im lol'ing in my head at this actually happening). Anyway I'm not graduating until this spring, so is it even worth bothering right now?

Career fairs were always a huge bust for me, but definitely follow up with every job you're interested in. You'll look uninterested otherwise.

I'm guessing what job type, but most iBanks in the UK just send you to their website to apply for internships/graduate positions online.

I would follow up. I got an internship through a career fair. I also have a lot of friends that got jobs this way.

Yeah, decide which ones you're interested in, and follow up. I base my decision on how good the stuff they're handing out is... Wooden pencils = no. Squishy stress ball = yes.
