Thanks Tsveta,

Think I should go? Before answering: Bear in mind two things:

1. I'm aiming for fairly senior R&D positions in the IT or Telecom industries (Project Manager or better)

2. I'll be flying in from the other side of the world.


Thanks,

Almo

Hi Almo,
What they basically do at the Job Fair is to harvest Resumes. You wait on long lines to give your Resume to people who don't even talk to you.
This was my bitter experience in the past (like 6 years ago). I don't know if they have changed their ways, but I wouldn’t bother if I were you.

Thanks.

In that case, I won't go.

Don't be so hard on the recruiters. If nobody called you doesn’t mean that they don't call anybody. All the recruiters and employers at that Job Fair have paid to get a booth and meet with potential employees so probably they need to be there too.
