It’s been several weeks since the job fair I went to and I decided it was time to rethink my posting (Job Fairs: Are They Worth the Investment of Time). Every job fair is going to be different. Yes, there are a lot of people there. However, you do get to have face time with potential employers and it is a great way to network with other job seekers.
What happened to change my mind? I got an interview with a company for a job that I think is right up my alley. I would not have seen this possibility on my own, nor would I have had the interview. It may only be one interview, but one interview is one more than I had before and one more opportunity to connect.
I have another job fair next week that I am now looking forward to. For those of you out there that are struggling, like me, to find a job, let me encourage you to get out there.
