getting a job- job fairs
I posted this on career but I don't think anyone reads that board...thought I might get more response here....anyone been to a job fair? What was it like? I'm not understanding how you know what types of jobs each company has....not sure if it is a waste of time, especially for senior level positions?? Thoughts?

Re: getting a job- job fairs
I have been to one or two along the way and IMO they are a total waste of time.
Basically-- they are like recruiting events and they collect resumes. It's one thing if you are entry level-- but an experience professional I don;t think will have much luck.
If you have nothing better to do-- why not check it out though.

This is what I was afraid of. Think I may be better off spending my time talknig to recruiters.... why is finding a new job so difficult for me...my firends they get jobs in a day!!  vent over!

Re: getting a job- job fairs
I would try it. My DH had very bad luck with recruiters, went to a job fair and got his current job through that. It was a job fair for one particular company, though, so that might be why he had good luck with it.
