I'm questioning if I should keep attending job fairs. They mostly seem like a formality where every company directs me to their online portal. Any tips on how to cut through the noise and actually make a meaningful, in-person connection with a recruiter there?

I’d focus on smaller, industry-specific events instead of general job fairs. It’s easier to find hiring managers there who actually want to talk shop, not just collect resumes.

Agree 💯

They’re 80% noise, 20% potential. The trick? Skip the stalls, talk to recruiters on breaks. That’s when they stop giving scripted answers and talk real.
