Our Very First Job Fair

This coming Tuesday (June 26th, 2007) we will be exhibiting at our first ever job fair. As I understand, we will have a recruiting booth at the Post News Job Fair here in Denver.

Naturally, I am skeptical as to whether this will be worth our time but my marketing goddess - Emily Bearden - assures me it will be a winner. Spending money on something like this represents something of a milestone for us - we will actually be giving away pens with our logo on them.

Now, the last job fair I attended was in high school so I would like to have readers post their personal job fairs experiences (fond memories, embarrassing moments, humorous anecdotes, etc.)

In the interest of irreverent humor, our signage will be focused on The Top Ten Reasons You DON'T Want a Sales Job - enjoy

#9 ‘I consider myself more of a ‘9 to 5 corporate suck-weasel.’

#8 ‘Oh jeez, I would but my dialing finger is broken.’

#7 ‘I much prefer working in a career that is being sent overseas.’

#6 ‘All that time without a job allowed my to catch up on episodes of Dirty Jobs and I decided I would rather be a crime scene cleaner.’

#5 ‘It makes more sense if someone else has power over my future.’

#4 ‘Talking to other people is scary and I need a hug.’

#3 ‘But I am getting good at saying – would you like some pastry with your mocha today?’
