Jacob: do you think this fair might be useful for a “mature” (ie. over 40) jobseeker?
An engineer- absolutely. Although most of the openings will be aimed at younger, less-experienced hires, there will be some for you too. Plus, this will give you a chance to learn about companies in the market, gauge demand for your skills and learn which skills you might want to acquire, and network with other job seekers, both your age and not. Just don’t expect people to come up to you with that information, you’ll have to do some legwork and asking around.
[…] job fair usually takes place in the summer like this one last July, so either they bumped it up this year or they’ll be another one in 6 months […]
