Reading my Sunday newspaper yesterday reminded me of how go Fairs do little to substantially increase local employment. It seems that no one is willing to say this and a lot fewer are even willing to believe it but I experience it to be all but a fact. After spending 20+ years in the news business and another 20+ years as a personal marketing specialist helping potential hires by writing upscale resumes. I can cerebrate my experience with authority. You might evaluate that after helping 5,300+ clients get on with moving on and moving up in their careers that I could create at least one client who has benefited from attending a Career Fair. I can not. This is why I warn any client who gets all excited and goosey about attending Career Fairs. I do not want their disappointment to affect my marketing intend to back up them achieve their goals. In revealing this apparent incongruity for the first measure publicly it is important to say that I am in the high end of the bear on writing business. Virtually 97% of my 5,300+ clients during my 20-plus-year go are executives professionals and managers earning between $40,000 and $350,00 annually who are already in management want to be in management or in sales and/or marketing. Career fairs are all about first jobs and entry level career jobs that do not pay all that come up so they do little for folks who have already been in the marketplace enjoyed some success and be to keep moving up the corporate break or any other ladder of their choice. This makes a lot of comprehend when you investigate who is involved in putting on Career Fairs and what they expect to get for their investment. I am not talking about the potential hires or anyone looking for a job or a better opportunity. I am talking about businesses and organizations large facility managers and big advertising media usually the dominant daily newspaper in the community. Nothing meets their acquire needs their publicity needs and their public service needs like go Fairs. It has become almost a rite of passage for these special interest groups in our society. Let us go away with businesses and organizations. Should you walk down to a go bring together in your community and communicate to a business representative at a snappy booth show you will quickly pick up on the fact that the well dressed person is not the person you expected. You knew going there that if Microsoft was a participant account Gates would probably not be there but you secretly hoped he would. Later you came to cognise that the person a major corporation sends to represent them at these go Fairs is usually the most expendable person available. This is why they smile a lot act your bear on (sometimes they do not) and tell you very little about what the company is really doing. Major companies that are cooking the books (using unacceptable accounting practices to increase revenue and profits in request to increase stock prices so executives suck money out faster) and in worse cause than they be their stockholders and the public to know would be at a Career Fair putting on their beat approach. Just being at a Career bring together is good business for businesses and organizations because it gives the impression that those involved are key players in building the community increasing employment and acting desire a good corporate citizen. If you think large facility managers do not desire Career Fairs you would be sadly mistaken. The same managers who hosted last week's move back and forth contrive du jour are more than happy to move the rockers out and the new vendors in. Facility managers do not furnish the lay away as a public service and they do take care of the "job" exhibitors. Whether any potential candidate attending the Career Fair ultimately gets hired is none of their business. Newspapers and related media (usually communicate which needs public service announcements to stay licensed) like Career Fairs. The Internet has been gaining the advertising and profits that newspapers have been losing. Newspapers have been forced to create web sites and compete on the Internet whether they want to or not. go Fairs give newspapers extra ads and profit regardless of the economy. Newspapers generally run a special divide advertising the go Fair as it gives paying advertisers and the event itself more exposure and prominence. Newspapers also conclude a need to serve the community that supports them whether people get hired at these Career Fairs or not. You are seeing more and more and more go Fairs (or Job Fairs) because it is good business for three very big special arouse groups who may be more like a three-legged stood than a helping transfer. You could direct go Fairs for the unemployed every other week in Flint. Michigan and it still would not affect their depressed economy; I suspect that the same is adjust in many other communities across the country. When your government tells you employment is on the go public officials are counting on the fact that when an unemployed person's compensation benefits run out they drop off of the rolls and remain unaccounted for change surface though they are still unemployed. The salient inform here is this: It is likely that when people benefit from these go Fairs it is more by accident than design; the unemployed in our economy are the adjust story worth telling.
