Among a room full of potential employers were a variety of private companies and public agencies including the Border Patrol, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, H & R Block, KFMB Television, Pre-Paid Legal Services, and Sea World
Some exhibitors tried harder than others to attract attendees to their tables. For example, H&R Block recruiters were all dressed in green, the table-cloth was green, and so were two table lamps. Sea World relied on big signs featuring a jumping Shamu, and lured potential applicants with candy and small toys. Border Patrol had two physically fit–okay, “macho” — agents serving as recruiters.
Students who were unable to attend the fair need not overly concern themselves. Most of the exhibitors directed potential applicants to their websites to learn more.
