There is a Job Fair coming up in Los Angeles, March 18th. I don't know many people here in the Los Angeles area that are PC reps- and am looking for someone to share a booth with. Anyone interested? The full amount for 1 person (me) is $300., so if one person answers, it'll be $150 each, and if more......lower.....etc. Please respond if you're interested!
 
Beth...you may consider the cost vs what you will get out of it. Having attended some Job Fairs myself, I steer clear of the DS tables... People are not there for that. Most who go to Job Fairs are looking for jobs that can make them lots of money really fast. PC is not for them. I'd check with your Upline Director to see if she would consider this a good investment. The purpose of most booths is to seek customers/hosts. You will gain neither from this booth.

At the same time there is a severe lack of jobs right now and people might be looking at any and every possibility. At a job fair I like to say, sure go for those other jobs but this one will be a guarantee that will fill in the cracks and offer you more stability. I have never paid that much $$ for a job fair booth though, ouch!

The job losses and "filling the cracks" is exactly what I was thinking! You really don't think it will be worth it?

I really don't think it would be worth it. The cost of the booth sounds pretty high.
