I mentioned share an EveryBlock posting about this city of Chicago jobfair on the FB page. Then a notification to the wider audience on the blog. More information had been sent to us by the Greater Chatham Alliance.

Did anybody attend this garbage? I went to a jobfair at wright college this morning and i was tempted to slit my wrist afterwards. Why do we bother? more importantly, why do employers bother leaving their office just to tell you to apply online? i think some of the actually enjoy watching people grovel over a job.... DAMMM
