OK, maybe it's a rhetorical rant, but my husband went to a
job fair on April 2. He dropped resumes with THE 4
districts hiring for his position. He got interviews with
all 4!! Yeah, he said they went VERY well, but in the end,
they said, we'll be in touch.

He followed up with the 2 that actually currently have
openings. And they still aren't ready to schedule
interviews yet. The other two said that he should look on
their websites and when he sees the jobs posted, do what
they tell him to do.

So, my question is: What was the purpose of the job fair?
Some of these schools are going to be at 6 job fairs this
spring! All for the same openings?! And I'm not sure what
value the school gets out of it, or the candidates.

What did I expect? We expected that this would be a
screening process and if they liked you, they would
schedule you to meet with the powers that be inside the
school. Maybe it is and my husband didn't make the cut?
But that's not what they are saying!

What other experiences are y'all having at the job fairs?
