I went to a job fair this morning. It was the first job fair I have ever been to. I was glad to see that there were a lot of companies represented. However, as I made my way around the room and through the masses of people, I began to wonder if it was worth the investment of time. I had hoped to take advantage of meeting with people face to face. However, with so many people, I wondered if I would even be remembered when the day was over. My resume was added to a stack of others. Worthwhile to get it in the hands of a hiring manager? Yes, but does it accomplish anything more than submitting a resume online?
Have you been to a job fair? What was your reaction?
