Job Fairs

Job fairs are becoming more and more commonplace and more than a few people attend them due to the current state of the country's economy, as job fairs are designed to not only get people back to work, but also to give folks who are currently out of work a little bit of hope to cling to. But no matter how many job fairs you get dressed up to go to, in my view, they’re all a waste of time.

They fill your head with hope, and every single one of them you attend, the representatives there tell you that the companies' applications are only available online, and as such, you can only apply for any job you're trying to get in cyberspace, with little to no regard as to whether you have internet service or not. What this means is that you basically came from all the way across town for nothing! What the hell are the company representatives here for then?! What would be the point of me coming to those things? To find a spouse? I hope they don't think people came all the way down there with resumes in hand just to be told to go back home, get on the computer, and apply online.

Exhibit A:



This is how you start the day...

It gets better though. When people who need a job ASAP get to the job fair only to find out there are never, ever any on-the-spot job interviews, unsurprisingly, they get disgusted and leave. I'm wondering why on-the-spot job interviews are so unheard of? Well, that’s not totally true; technical colleges are on the lookout for more ways to get their paws on your no-money, and the Army booth is always looking for good men (and women), but I bet you didn’t come to a job fair for those things, did you?


Exhibit B:



The booth you'll encounter instead of a job every time you go to a job fair

Let this be a lesson to you, if you decide to go to a job fair, just know you'll not only have your time wasted, but you'll go through all of that only to end up back at your pc doing only what you were doing a few hours earlier. It's rough going folks, but we'll get through this...I hope...
