[nabs-l] Navigating Job Fairs

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Misty,

         From what I have been able to notice, sighted people sort of 
expect you to have an assistant of sorts to walk around with you, 
reading names, filling out aps. In fact, it would seem to me that 
bumbling around a job fair by oneself might represent an inability to 
know when to call on assistance.  and that could also turn potential 
employers off to the idea of hiring a blind person.
What do you think of this?
Keep us posted on how this job fair goes, okay?
for today, Car,

just about everything on my own, but this is something new for me, 
and I don't want to look bad or awkward to employers while moving 
around the job fair. Also, I do not know if it would turn employers 
away if I go to each table and ask which company it is. Also, if you 
had to fill out any applications there on the spot, how did you 
manage that? Have any of you had any success with job fairs, and what 
did you find that worked for you?
