This is so not true. Going to a job fair will not push your resume to the top of the stack! In fact when you meet the recruiter they will tell you that it won't help you get the interview. What they will tell you is that by coming to the job fair, it will cause them to pull and review your application which could trigger an interview invite. Again, I can't stress what a slap in the face it is to Delta to imply that just because you meet someone you will get an invite. They have a process and if you app scores high enough you will get the invite. Going to a job fair will get your app scored if it hasn't already been scored and that may get you the invite. No one really knows how the application is scored but to imply that a community college guy that gets a 2.8 gpa in ten years of schooling would get an interview over a fighter pilot or an Ivy League college guy just because he went to a job fair is ludicrous.
