Which might have been a little bit harsh, but we think you\u2019re stronger for it.<\/p>\n<p>Stronger yet? No? Ok\u2026we\u2019re genuinely pretty sorry, but this blog post, the best resource you\u2019re likely to find on NYC job fairs, should make things right. Let us begin the reconciliation process:<\/p>\n<h4>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/nyc.getuncubed.com\/\">UnCubed<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>UnCubed is a day of \u201cclasses, music, drinks, art, contests, and speakers\u201d. In a genius move UnCubed has turned the traditional talk-to-people-at-a-booth-for-a-few-minutes-and-possibly-get-some-<a href=\"https:\/\/eventblog.peatix.com\/experiences\/article\/5-killer-custom-event-swag-ideas\">swag<\/a> into the sort of event a traditional human being might actually want to attend. The day is focussed on making meaningful connections, and if you don\u2019t come away with an interview, hopefully you\u2019ll have played some worthwhile pingpong.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ESGgHudvbds\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> April 17, 9am-8pm<br \/>\n<strong>Where: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/preview?q=125+West+18th+Street&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=0x89c259bcc69fd235:0x49eb87e22480c697,125+W+18th+St,+New+York,+NY+10011&amp;gl=us&amp;ei=wIY1U8S7NorMsATXhICQDw&amp;ved=0CCcQ8gEwAA\">Metropolitan Pavilion<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/new-yorks-14th-annual-diversity-employment-day-career-fair-tickets-11107094619?aff=es2&amp;rank=8&amp;sid=8b8228abb68611e3ae9512313d090650\">New York\u2019s 14th Annual Diversity Employment Day Career Fair<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d you might say, \u201cI just don\u2019t know if I\u2019m diverse enough to go to this.\u201d Nonsense!

Isn\u2019t that\u2026?\u201d YUP. It\u2019s a farmers market that goes down in Union Square a few times a week. \u201cBut I\u2019m looking for a job, not fresh squash. Not that I\u2019d say no\u2026\u201d Well let me ask you this, Sally Skeptic:<\/p>\n<p>Do the differences between a job fair and a farmers market go any further than the superficial? At both you are talking to representatives of a company at a table; at both you receive free trifles; at both there are likely some young people behaving with an enthusiasm that\u2019s somehow creepy and disturbing. So, if you love fresh squash or apples or yucca or whatever as much as you say, why not get a job that has to do with those things? The local food movement is as hot as can be right now, and a well kept secret is that a good micro-farmer is as in demand as any software engineering position. Check out the Union Square Green Market and see what we mean.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cms.peatix.com\/images\/blog\/USGreenmarket.jpg\" alt=\"Union Square Greenmarket jobs!\" width=\"630\" height=\"135\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, 8am-6pm<br \/>\n<strong>Where:<\/strong> North and West sides of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Union+Square\/@40.7362512,-73.9903086,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c259989e14aa8b:0xcd00afc9db20caa4\">Union Square Park<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>5. <a href=\"http:\/\/techmeetups.com\/event\/techstartupjobs-fair-new-york-2014\/\">TechMeetups Job Fair<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>TechMeetups aims to create a global network of robust startup hubs, and will hold the most anticipated job fair of mid-April on April 15.
