The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.

Tangentially related, but are job fairs even worth it? In my limited experience, you wait in a long line for someone to tell you to apply online. I was better off getting a list of employers who were attending, and then looking through each of their websites.

I remember when a lady tried to scam me into an MLM at a job fair I attended several years ago.

I got scammed into attending a seminar for "business women empowering business women." It was just this lady giving a talk about what a great job coach she is and then pressuring everyone into hiring her for $300 per month. She saw me as a mark and was really targeting me, I actually wrote the check for her first three months and was about to hand it to her, but saw the look in her eyes, looking at my check and realized I should just tear it up.

It's not a pyramid, it's a triangle.
