I noticed an ad in the Memphis Flyer for an upcoming Job Fair at the Memphis Marriott East (2625 Thousand Oaks Blvd) on Wednesday, January 23, from 10am-3pm. If you go to their website, you can view other upcoming fairs, search job postings and read articles on job searching. If you’ve been to one of these job fairs before, please feel free to let us know what you think in the Comments section!
