Advance job fair & career event @ madison Square Garden

Hi Angie,

I went to the one a few months ago at MSG. I thought it was very helpful and informative. Just get there early and have copies of your resume. Make sure you also keep the guide book as a reference, since they have a list of all the vendors and their contact information.

Hope this helps,

Hi, has anyone attended an Advance Job fAIR before, if so can you please share your experience. There is going to be one tomorrow tuesday sept 26 at madison square garden.

The ADVANCE job fair was crowded and not well-run nor layed out...despite the advertisements, there were NO snacks, nor even water---and I mean NO WATER FOUNTAINS--for several hours (they had coffee early on, but that ran out)...they had nothing to even BUY...this poor LPN who was 8-1/2 months pregnant had to PLEAD with the ADVANCE People to let her have some water from the "VENDORS-ONLY" eating area...Disgraceful...hours later, they threw some cases of soda at us...but, hello, we're nurses--stay hydrated with water--not sugar and caffeine and NutraSweet (and don't promise water if there won't be any)...There's a competitor's job fair coming up in NYC on Oct. 11 I believe at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Times square (around 46th St and B'way). Convenient to meet many recruiters in the same place--assuming they will be there....Good luck.
