Dallas school job fair disappointing to some
A job fair put on by the Dallas ISD to try to find new jobs for employees affected by recent layoffs attracted almost 600 people Tuesday, with employers ranging from Southwest Airlines to the Clark County School District in Las Vegas attending. However, the majority of employers were merely collecting resumes, not interviewing for open positions, which left some frustrated.

ok, that's not fair.... yes I've even had friends move there and like it.
And they look pretty serious to hire - they're projecting big increases in enrollment over the next few years.

It left some frustrated? I'm surprised there hasn't been an orderly, if not organized procession of drive by shootings on Ross.

We're the "friends (and advertisers)" from New Mexico. We flew to Dallas just to attend the Job Fair. We know it means a move and a risk for some - but we have a lot to offer. Unfortunately, the news did not get out but we were hiring on the spot at the Job Fair. We did hire some individuals while we were there but still have openings and hope that someone links to our website... even if it's through the comment section. Thanks.
