Job Fairs

Attending a job fair can be one of the most productive activities for a job seeker.  It's one of the few times that you will have several businesses and other employers gathered together in one spot just to talk to you about a job!  They are also a great place to figure out what's happening in the economy - what companies are growing and what positions are in the most demand in your local area at that time.  You don't have to understand a labor market survey to comprehend just who is hiring when they are sitting right in front of you!

Art of Matchmaking

  1. Have you ever started a job and discovered that you don’t like it?
  2. Does your job history include jobs where you stayed a very short time?
  3. Have you ever applied at a place just because you saw that they needed help?
  4. When filling out an employment application, do you ever answer the question about the “position desired” with “any” or “open?”

If your answer to any of these questions is “Yes,” please take a few minutes to consider
