going to a job fair worth it?

[flusterose]

A couple of months ago I was unemployed and was able to take these exams for free. Like an idiot, I didn't take full advantage.. ended up only taking two for free, school safety and traffic. Traffic being my first time taking one these exams, I probably scored too low to expect a call back. Got like an 87.
Got a 95 on the school safety though.

State exams? put me on breh

go to a job fair...so they can tell you to apply online

And whoever is at the job fair...is not important enough to get you a job at that company...only people companies send out to the job fair are like secretaries and HR assistants just so they can look busy...

 

[Dooby]

its really for companies to advertise....they basically just give u a sheet of paper and tell u to go online....

This is true. I made the mistake of going to one job fair...never again. There were plenty of apply onlines and we're not even hiring right now bull shyt that was abundant there.

university fairs are where you're most likely to get an actual interview from. when I moved to LA a year after college with no job, I crashed the area college fairs (CSULB, USC[biggest career fair I've seen and it was only for engineering majors] ,UC Irvine) and received a ton of interviews (one company flew me to ATL just for the interview). I stood out, besides for being a black engineer, because I wasn't enrolled in the college. I ended up getting hired from going to the CSULB career fair. It's a six fig govt job that I've had now for 5 years.

New York city transit has a job fair going on tomorrow. Are job fairs a waste of time?

If you're already thinking that it might be a waste of time then you should probably stop job hunting now.

I'm not really job hunting tho... I'm currently working

 

[Bane]

I'm going to be there tomorrow.
