Many people are desperate for a job and have run out of ideas. Many have sent 100s of resumes all over the country and have never even received a reply. One other avenue for a job search is to go to a job fair. Even though the economy is down all over the nation, there are two industries which are still doing reasonably well; this is the health care sector and science industry. And these two giants frequently have job fairs, many times a year all over the country.

At a job fair, you can get to meet the CEO, president or a manager right away. If lucky a face to face meeting can be conducted right away. It is the easiest place to meet people who have the power to hire.

Job fairs always have recruiters in designated booths willing to answer all your questions. While you size them up, they are definitely also on the look out for potential employee(s).

Dress well at a fair because you never who you will come across. And if you are job hunting, carry a miniature CV with you to hand out. Have a business card ready just in case they want to contact you. Do not scrawl your name on a piece of paper- that usually gets thrown in the garbage.

If you do your homework well, a job fair is the best bet of getting attention for a new job.
