If you build it, they will come

I'm always amazed at that brief second of apprehension before the doors of any event opens. I'm amazed because everything is done and ready, but still, we catch our breaths just before the opening...
Granted, glitches happen, and sometimes things don't completely go our way, but that's what the event industry is all about - thinking on your feet, not panicing, and coming up with a Plan B and delivering it as if it were Plan A all along.

So we waved a fond adieu to our team headed off to Birmingham yesterday afternoon. After spending most of the evening building the shell schemes and getting registration ready, while you and I lay snoozing in bed, they were getting ready for the epic Job Fair taking place in Birmingham today.

The event runs from 10:30 until 7pm tonight and is open to anyone looking for work, for career advice, looking to make a change of industry, or just generally anyone looking to see what the market is like.

With the current economic climate, finding work has been extremely difficult. With our passion to get the nation working, it would be easy for us to throw our hands in the air and say "ah, but its the current climate... we're not going to do anything THIS year", but the JobServe Events team is passionate-enough to keep going, and to provide any avenue of help that we can. And its evident in our JobServe Live! shows.

And for that, I marvel at the team.

Our next show will be in Reading on the 19th May.
