Pointless in your opinion. Not in everybody's, not a "fact".
The job fairs for the general public I've been to tend to cater to sales people who work off commission. So if you're in sales, they might be useful. Otherwise, they probably won't be your cup of tea.
I think college job fairs tend to produce a more diversified portfolio of companies and types of jobs they are seeking to fill.
I went to a teaching job fair at a school district (the district shall be nameless) last Thursday and one of the interviewers who was a teacher had a nose ring on. A freaking nose ring on!!!!!!!! Talk about unprofessional!!!!!!!!!!
If this is perfectly acceptable where she currently works then, no...I do not find it that unprofessional at all.
And yes, she had to be in her mid to late 30's. So one would assume she would have been "wiser" since she's older, however, this was not the case.[/quote]
[quote=ryhoyarbie;30626574]Please tell me how having a nose ring means one is not that smart (i.e., not "wise"). I am sure I know what your response will be, but I always get a chuckle out of these answers anyways. And, no, I do not have any piercings myself.
You are the problem. You fail to see what you should do and your attitude towards the process is terrible. Yes, when I look for employees, I want to prescreen the bad, so I better be impressed before I interview someone.
Then what do I do. I've gone to several and most jobs end up being dreck high turnover jobs. I rarely see decent jobs at job fairs. I think at some point job fairs work (the college ones to an extent are the best for recent college graduates.) But the issue is job fairs are fairly not the way things work.
However, I would think that most people care enough to voluntarily help those out who are having a particularly difficult time finding work.
One would hope this is the case for an individual. However it isn't exactly easy when there are still at least 3 people out of work for every available job (if they were filled today) in the US.
That is not how things work in a market economy. Simply having jobs because of your entitlement feelings is not at all productive or efficient.
