Today the job.travel team attended a job fair in the Ft. Lauderdale suburb of Davie, which at one time was the leading producer of tomatoes in the United States, but I digress. The event was held at a large catering center in a very nice ballroom. I would estimate there were around 20 exhibitors attending. These ranged from colleges, to companies, to providers of tools to obtain positions. These being job.travel and the state of Florida's Workforce One.
In attendance were an estimated 1150 people per the organizers of the event. The crowd ranged through all ages and professional levels. Some seemed very interested in the offerings and others seemed more concerned in picking up pens and other promotional items. A large home improvement chain was present with orange tote bags that made collecting material easier.
With job.travel being located next to the Workforce One booth, we were well positioned. Our neighboring booth helps jobseekers with all aspects of the search. Workshops on resume writing, interview techniques and dressing the part. In talking to their staff, the two websites will get linked to provide additional resources for job seekers.
