Marker poops are the worst and Metamucil makes it so they never ever happen.

I remember one time, 13 or 14 years ago I was on the can for a good hour and I pooped twice. After the second one I felt amazing.

Might have been the same time that I brought in my laptop, plugged in a USB webcam and set it on the floor pointed at my feet. Got quite a few laughs on Chatroulette.

I've never actually sought out an Avenged Sevenfold song, I kinda lumped them into all the other Nickelback-type metal bands with that style of singer in my head, couldn't name one song of theirs.

Felt like a "recommend new poo poo" day yesterday, so had Apple Music browsing on the commute and landed on their new album, and hot holy gently caress. This is some of the best prog metal I've heard in years.

Print up about two dozen resumes. Bring a notepad. Dress appropriate to your professional level. Hit every booth that isn't an "oh gently caress no" employer. Shake hands, ask questions, make a decent impression and try to remember the guy's name long enough to walk out of his eyeline and write it down on your notepad.

You may not even need that many resumes anymore, since hiring managers basically exist now to tell you to go apply at their website. But I'd do it anyway.

Walk around and get handed papers and sold on things. And if you're lucky chat and get recruited a bit was my experience, but this was forever ago so I don't know if they've changed or not.

e: or if I'm thinking of a different type of 'job fair' you know. Whole lot of sales type of jobs that I was absolutely never going to be able to deal with going on. But some legit ones too. Not a bad idea to take a binder or folder along or whatever if they still do the handing out paper for everything thing, but they might just put stuff on your phone or get your email these days, idk.

If possible, research the companies that will be there. Most job fairs will publish their attendee list.

Don't expect on-the-spot job interviews; job fairs are more about getting your contact information in potential employers' hands. However, don't be shocked if they ask for a 15-minute on-site interview.

Dress business-casual. Don't go wearing a three-piece suit, but don't go wearing a T-shirt and ratty jeans, either.

Bring plenty of copies of your resume and make sure it has all your pertinent contact information (name, email, phone number).

Practice a 30-second elevator pitch about who you are and what you do. For example, mine would be, "Hi, I'm Tim, and I've worked in marketing for 18 years, focusing on copywriting, graphic design, video production, websites and email marketing. I'm very passionate about delivering a story well-told to the right audience." Also, practice responses to common interview questions.

Talk with other job-seekers and get their information, too. They might be able to warn you about what booths to avoid because they're snake oil salesmen or whatever.

Good luck, Ross!

Okay, in that event they're probably going to be doing open interviews, so you should definitely see if they have their positions posted and practice some interview responses. (And also write down some questions to ask about the company to show that you did your homework.)

We had an open interview event at the hotel I was the director of marketing at a while ago, and I was hiring for a coordinator to help with my workload. I could immediately tell who was just going to job fairs to fill out a diary for unemployment benefits, and who was actually hungry to work. Didn't hire anyone on the spot that day, but I did bring in three people for 90-minute interviews a week later.

6/9 Last actual day of work at my lovely job! :toot: :69snypa:




I feel weird. Like weirdly bereft and melancholy even though the job sucked and I didn't like doing it. Also shocked that I managed to spend the last 8.5 months* at this place, which is both longer than I should've stayed and longer than I expected to hang on. When I started this gig I was worried I'd be fired within the first month, and now it's been more than half a year and I have actual money saved. Small victories! :stare:

* It's also officially the longest anyone with my job title has lasted at this branch of the company. Everyone else either left for greener pastures or vanished under mysterious circumstances long before that.

That might be legit but keep your radar up for this being a big scam, because inviting loads of people to a "job fair" to recruit them into an MLM thing or door to door commission based work etc. is a depressingly common practice too.

Oh gently caress I thought they did approve it officially.

It’s a shame I’ve quietly been a distant A’s fan since I could watch baseball. My fanhood is unlikely to follow them to Vegas, it’ll just end at the Coliseum.

The A's have always been my secondary team since my grandpa was a fan but unlike his Raider's fandom they didn't become my main team. Not like the Mariners are a step up there though. I will bandwagon the Orioles tho.
