Job Hunting!

I have been in California a little over a month now, and I am still looking for a job. I have been to three job fairs, and they were not what I thought they would be. The first one that I went to was a totally unorganized. I found the job fair on Monster. It stated that it was a job fair for college graduates. The ad also stated that the companies that were going to be there were looking for applicants in business management. That is what I have my degree in, therefore I decided to register for the job fair, so I submitted my resume.

When I got to the job fair, it was not what they said it was. It was a job fair for entry-level positions in such industries as rental cars, corrections, fast food and hotel service. It was a total waste of my time. I was really disappointed.

I signed up for two other job fairs and they were not any better. They were for sales jobs, with a commission only salary. So, needless to say I don't think I am going to be attending any more job fairs.

I really loved my job in Seattle. I especially loved the people that I worked with. I have applied everywhere, so hopefully I land a job soon. Wish me luck and if anyone has any suggestions I have an open ear :)
