Job Fair Nonsense

Went to a job fair last night. Total waste of time. The giveaway should have been the fact they didn't list the companies that would be there. Nothing but outside commission sales. No wonder they didn't list them. Not everyone wants to sell siding and life insurance. They grossly underestimated the number of people who would attend and more than a few people, including myself, walked out. If nothing else, I learned that if you want to attend a job fair, check out the company or organization sponsoring it. If they don't (or won't) list the companies looking for people, there's a good chance it's for sales positions with a fairly high turnover rate. Live and learn.
