I hate job fairs, they are a necessary evil though. I was hired through a job fair once. I was supposed to attend one last month too, but I decided not to.

Definately, when people look at a resume all they see is a piece of paper. When they see you they can put a face with that piece of paper. They will take you more seriously once you have shown them that you traveled all of that way to give them the old grip and grin. Like SS said, "Contacts are important" (I refer to it as Networking).

The more I keep looking at the employers going, the more I think I can really make some good contacts.

I noticed a couple airlines will be at the fair, has anyone ever worked for the airlines? Do they offer decent jobs?

Just make sure the airline isn't recently out of bankruptcy. If they are they're looking to hire cheap.

Southwest is a fantastic company. When I use to work for Boeing Southwest was one of only few companies we had to make sure was happy at all times. Southwest is efficient, knows it shit, and buys a lot of airplanes (the sign of a healthy airline).

As for US Airways it came out of chapter 11 bankruptcy on 9/2005. I would suggest that you do your research and ask a lot of questions of their rep at the fair.

That reminds me of when we had to search vehicles in Germany. We would stop the good looking women on purpose.

I love European women, especially when they wore skirts with no underwear. You could catch a snapshot with your inspection mirror just as they were exiting the vehicle. AAAHHHH..... Good times.
