I used to think that finding a good employer at a job fair was like trying to find a good romantic partner at a bar—in other words, the meet-market that leads nowhere good. But this book has done what few books can do, which is offer a different and much more positive perspective AND a sensible, workable plan. Written by a self-described introvert, Ms. Casineanu confronts all my deepest reservations about job fairs and other proactive ways to find the next great career opportunity. Highly recommended reading for anyone who thinks there's something better out there for them, but isn't quite sure how to go about finding it in a competitive job market.
Very informative and beneficial, this book provides a detailed insight into how to get the most out of attending job fairs! As a job fair organizer, I was very impressed with Gabriela’s in-depth knowledge about what it takes to prepare for a job fair if you are a job applicant. If you are planning on attending a job fair any time soon then this book is a must-read!
Looking for a job can be an anxiety- and disappointment-filled process. Once your resume goes out into the ether, you don't know how it's going to be assessed or against whom you are being compared. Gabriela creates a compelling case for going to a job fair. It is a crucial way to get yourself connected and remembered by those who matter. And if you follow the pragmatic advice in this book, you will be able to make helpful adjustments because you will be getting instant feedback and you will feel better about yourself. Especially if you take her advice that this is a progression toward your outcome, not the outcome itself. A great strategy to improve your employment prospects.
Excellent for anyone looking for a job at a job fair, whether just graduating or multiple job fair attendee. Almost every possible scenario is explained. I particularly liked the use of an actual encounter with a fellow looking for a job and his reactions to the book ideas. I can't imagine anyone who follows these strategies not finding a job.
A 'must-have' book to read before attending a job fair. It is chock-full of great advice on how to prepare yourself, what to do when you are there, and what to do as a follow-up. The author has many easy-to-implement ideas that will help you make the absolute most out of attending a job fair. I am recommending it to all my job-seeking friends!
