Maybe All You Need Is Another Gig
What can a high tech career fair do for the job seeker? Potential job candidates may never ask themselves this question because they do not see benefits to these recruitment events. It's likely these same people have careers filled with missed opportunities. So what are the benefits? Well, first and foremost these fairs give you a free and efficient opportunity to meet personally with hiring representatives and management from leading	companies-all under one roof. These companies are searching for people who have high technology talent, which includes people with engineering, telecommunications, information technology, and semiconductor experience. Secondly, they give you the chance to gage where you are in the marketplace. Even though you may already be employed, you may not be meeting your salary potential. And thirdly, bringing together many different types of companies with various	corporate cultures, the Southwest, Southeast and Midwest High Tech Career Fairs give you an avenue to seek out the type of workplace that suits you best. Common sense tells us that finding the right job does not happen by accident. You make it happen by putting yourself in the right place at the right time. So put one of these high tech career fairs on your list of things to do-and don't forget to bring plenty of resumes. (For dates, see below.)
