Job fairs are very useful.
A company will not hold a Job-Fair unless they have an acute need for candidates. A Job-Fair is probably the 2nd best way of landing a job, after personal recommendation based upon networking. The problem with Job-Fairs is that they can be very crowded and have really long lines. The idea is to get hundreds of candidates in a room with lots of interviewers and start the interviewing process for as many people as possible. I've been to these job fairs and it is an exciting thing to watch.
