[nfbcs] Career Fairs and Conventions

[Nancy Coffman]

Hello

Can you get the exhibitor list off the web? Doing that and checking off the people you want to see might be helpful. It also will help you to research the companies.  A reader might be able to help you go over the map. By the time you get there, you will be, and a pair, to be well-informed. That will look good to those that are looking to hire.
