You go in try to impress show a resume and you get the luck of the draw. If you know people and they have openings and your good at the job it will get you to work faster than what your stating.

Right, since I condemned word of mouth job seeking. /sarcasm Reading wasn't your strong suit in school was it? I was on his case for shunning the traditional means of looking for a job and immediately jumping to just asking blindly on a forums for someone who knows of something. PS, you don't get the luck of the draw if you have any clue as to what you're doing. Try making impressions. The ones that stick in the minds of the recruiter are the ones that are getting the job. You dont go in blind either, you research which companies will be there and what they will be offering. You research what the company's mission is and have prior knowledge regarding their operations. If you cant hold an impressionable conversation for 5 minutes knowing that information, you need to ask your friend's to help you work on your personality.

Ummm because he admitted he hasn't. GG, you can stop swinging from his nuts now. The constructive criticism (although masked in a bit of insensitivity) wasn't even aimed at you and you are getting butt hurt for the op. He atleast could look past it and see there was actual insight in the posts.

I didnt know Craigslist, AJCJobs, Yahoo! Jobs, and other websites (LIKE THIS ONE) were not valid places to find a job?
Never refuted any of those. You are putting words in my mouth at this point.

Last time I checked, people posted jobs they found IN THE WALLSTREET section to help out their fellow board members.
Is he posting jobs he found? No. So the relevance of this sentance is nil.

Well guess what, this is the WALLSTREET section, so if you dont like what goes on in here, kindfully press the back button, or the red "X" in the top right of this screen, and move on to another forum.
I'm well aware what section this is. Beyond the attitude of the post there was constructive input in my comments to the OP.

But maybe you are right, maybe I should bite the bullet, give in, and pay the money...

Your attitude, however, is completely uncalled for and unnecessary.
I may have been unnecessarily sharp with my words but my point still stands. I dont believe shunning any means of looking for a job is wise or intelligent. Simply prioritize your time for what is most efficient with your search. I don't think paying 35$ and sacrificing 3 hours on a saturday to go to a job fair is all that big in the scheme of things especially considering the opportunity to meet people from companies that will get you into a career rather than a job.

check back on the link below... they will post employer information of those that have registered along with the positions that they have available as it gets closer to the fair date.

Just food for thought.
