My latest Memphis Daily News column is out, “Making the Most of Career Fairs.” In it, I discuss taking advantage of local career fairs – whether you’re just out of college, or have been in the workforce for many years.
As college graduates prepare to enter the working world in May, corporations begin to ramp up their hiring. More jobs are posted, and recruiters increase their search efforts. Even if you graduated from college years or decades ago, this can be a perfect time to look for a new opportunity.
One place big companies look for candidates is at career fairs. Some fairs are standalone events, while others are part of a larger conference. Typically, fairs have a theme. Two common themes are business and engineering. It’s important to note that the same big-name recruiters hiring at an engineering fair are often the same folks hiring for marketing and sales roles at other fairs.

***Please note: The date of the NSBE career fair is listed in the article as April. The NSBE career fair is March 27-28. I apologize for my typo.***

The Downtown Candle Company, Chef John Ferraro, and Pinnacle IMP are presenting The Art of Wine. The event will be held on Sunday, March 9th at 7 PM. The cost is $35 per person.
Here’s information from their website about the event:
The goal of this tasting is to allow guests to systematically work their way through these beloved varietals and experience their nuances for themselves. Often, people will think a “white wine” is a white wine and a “red” is simply a red wine, not much to it and certainly the taste differences must be minimal after you get over the color choice. This tasting will offer new appreciation for both white wines and red wine varietals, and is likely one of the more “educational” tastings that could be offered.
