College Fair questions

I remember the ones that I went to were helpful. There were quite a few schools that I had never heard of… that’s actually where I found out about the school I wound up going to. Also, I’m not sure if schools still do this or not, but for like a year after attending these fairs I got booklet after booklet after booklet in the mail from various colleges. I’m not sure if it was because I was just in that age group or because I went to the fair.

On the flip side of this would be job fairs… I remember going to a job fair hosted at my college during senior year and smoozing it up with employers. I made a contact at a place that seemed really interested in me (it helped that my roommate had done her internship there) however they didn’t really have a position open that I was interested in at the time. Funny how you look back and think how different things could be had you made different decisions!! My work sets up tables at career fairs around here and I always think it would be neat to go - but that’s an HR event!
