No, I don't even know what exactly they're hiring for, although I have a good idea with regards to the industry. -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 8, 19:46 8
- i would think at a job fair, bring your resume and sell yourself to them in person, not in a letter -- nm - farmer ted Sep 8, 19:47 7
  - Even if you don't give them the letter, writing it might be helpful for you. -- nm - psilotum Sep 8, 20:06
  - cool I guess that makes sense -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 8, 19:50 5
    - I would say do both. Keep in mind at a job fair, they'll be seeing LOTS of people. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 8, 20:16
    - but definitely make a connection, make yourself memorable to them, and follow up with a nice "thank you" letter - farmer ted Sep 8, 19:52 3
      - If you flash them, that would be memorable -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 19:59 1
        
        I might consider MDH's stance on the bend and snap -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 8, 20:04
