Job Fairs a Great Place to Network for Success

Mobile Entertainment Live, PanelImage by TechShowNetwork via Flickr

When you go to a job fair, please, have resumes for distribution to potential employers and have business cards or something else printed to give to people who you meet and connect with at the Job Fair. It's so amazing to know that if you reach out to other people and talk to people you can learn more, and possibly open doors you didn't know existed.

Las Vegas has such high unemployment at this time and the most amazing part of the equation is that thousands of those unemployed has extremely advanced business and leadership skills and have either previously owned or run companies or have all the skills necessary to be their own boss.

Try to maximize your opportunities at any and all events you attend so that you can be encouraged along the way to success and so that you can also be supportive of others who are in a period of transition. Try to find the positive factors of your unemployment as a path that will take you in a whole new direction in life. Talk to people, ask questions, do your homework, and network, network, network.

Las Vegas Job Zone : Job Fairs

City of Las VegasImage via Wikipedia

Las Vegas is an amazing city with thousands of workers who want and need to make a living to continue to live here and to enjoy their lives. The level of unemployment is much higher than it has been in years and that means that many talented individuals are looking for the right job.


There's been a few job fairs recently and with so many people looking for jobs, lots of candidates making their way to these fairs with resumes in hand and hoping that a job will be offered soon. It's scary when in desperation a job fair is arranged and there are more companies at the job fair looking to make money than pay money.


In the last 7 days a job fair was held at the Luxor Hotel. The number of vendors participating was very low. It didn't seem like more than 10 companies had booths in the "Job Fair." Of the 10 companies participating, more than half of them were selling something like an educational program instead of offering jobs.


On a positive note, City Center, a mixed-use commercial and residential mega project had a team of employment representatives to take applications and Allegiant Air had information about jobs for Flight Attendants, their Call Center, and a few more positions.


The Navy is also looking for some excellent new recruits. It is very clear that in the Las Vegas Job Zone, much more needs to be done to get people back to work. We need to help people now.

The best way to stimulate the economy is to have people spending money. People only spend money when they are confident that are going to make money.
