Next Monday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., Texas Station hosts a job fair with over 80 companies hanging out to take your resume off your hands.

We've attended this in the past and had several interesting leads for positions we had never held before.

This type of Open House is much better than cold-calling or blindly sending cover letters to ads in Help Wanted. You can connect with employers and immediately add a face to your resume. Remember, this is Las Vegas, where skillset and common sense isn't the strongest. Just dressing up will earn you points.
