In February 2009, I attended a National Career Fair in metropolitan Atlanta at a local hotel (the Holiday Inn) and this job fair was a complete joke. They advertised this job fair as if lots of employers were going to be there for a variety of openings and you would have thought the fair would have been in a big sized room with at least 40 or more employers. Instead, they had less than 20 employers and the conference room that the fair was in was about the size of a basketball court and I ended handing my resume to one employer. The worst part of this job fair is that there was a line wrapped around the hotel building.
Although I have attended some job fairs in which I have had some success, this job fair by National Career Fair was a complete joke and I would not recommend anybody to attend a National Career Fair because you will leave disappointed and upset knowing you were unable to find employment opportunities.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
This is their SOP in doing job fairs, no real jobs just Sales Rep
People waiting in line to get in for disappointment or sales rep
I just went to one of these in MPLS today... nothing but commission sales or for profit schools in a tiny conference room. What a joke.
Waste of time. Waited in a long line just to walk right back out.
