Wow - I can understand selling food and drink but tupperware & candles? Really? I can't image they did much business trying to sell to people who were looking for work.

Getting in and out was pretty easy. I think if they do it again in the future they should limit the number of people trying to sell you stuff. It is a job fair to find a job. I don't consider selling Tupperware, Mary Kay, Candles or Pampered Chef a job. I only found 2 positions in the whole place that worked with my qualifications. Some companies I stood in line for 15-20 minutes just to find out that I did not qualify for thier positions. Hopefully the next one will have more restaurants and hotels.

I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. Easy in and out, the companies set up in a half dozen buildings, plenty of room to walk around and breathe, and they had vendors set up at strategic points selling fair food- pizza,... fried dough, you name it. Oh, and I was one of about several hundred who showed up in cargo shorts and a T-shirt. I thought I'd stand out! A-plus! The only thing that would make it better is if one of the companies I talked to hired me!

based on the turn out at the job fair looks like WMUR could sponsor one each month in Loudon where there is parking
