13 Wild Thoughts On The State Of Job Fairs

Should we get rid of job fairs once and for all? I've been to job fairs in Canada, France and Israel but the Techeads Israeli Hitech Job Fair on March 6th 2012 was the first job fair I'd been to in a while. I had originally planned to go to a recruiting event at the same conference center, just in a different room. When that was canceled, I ended up spending almost the whole day at the job fair instead. And I'm glad I did. After meeting almost all the company reps at the fair and speaking to well over a dozen attendees, here are some thoughts on that job fair and other job fairs in general.

[POLL] Does Your Resume Include These Sections?

This poll was inspired by my own first resume. I remember trying to write my first resume as a university student. I was clueless. But I knew it. This was in 1994, and although the Internet existed and I had already created my first website, there was no easy way to look for resume inspiration on the Web back then. So I asked around, and did find some books in the McGill University library. One section that seemed important to have, besides Experience and Education, was an Objective. What was my Objective? It seemed so obvious but I didn't really have an impressive answer at the time, especially if I was giving my resume to company rep.s at a job fair or career fair without a specific position in mind.
