I attended a local job fair yesterday. There were over 100 companies looking for employees. It was a lot like speed dating but with a lot more flirting. A good friend of mine had his picture taken by the Star Gazette and made the front page. It was interesting because he was dressed for an interview. I wore what you see in my picture to the left. We were in the minority. The picture in the Star Gazette showed job seekers in a variety of dress, anywhere from camo and jeans to T-shirts. I do not know if it really matters, but I would hope so. I think that the job seekers who dress up demonstrate that they are serious.
The support people at the fair wore buttons that said, "Ask me!" I asked one where the coffee was located. She did not know. It is so hard to find good people now days. There was an entertainment company there. I asked them if they were looking for standup comics. Turns out that they do not entertain, they just provide tents, chairs, and games. I guess my dream will have to wait.
I think the fact that there were so many companies there is a good sign that the economy is improving. I hope so.
