Went there 2 years in a row. First year was a nightmare. United didn’t have enough recruiters to meet with everyone. The line stretched across the pool deck of the resort. Anyone with a fast pass just went in front of the line. People without one stood in line for 8hrs to meet with our recruiters, baking in the sun in black suits, going on food/bathroom runs in shifts while others held their spot in line, only to get towards the front and be told “sorry folks, that’s all we’ve got time for today. Please hand in your resumes and we’ll take a look back in Denver.”

The second year went much better, as they limited the amount of tickets.

Politics aside, it’s a decent career fair for the price if you can’t get an invite to an in-house expo/career fair. If they offer fast passes or time slot reservations, I highly recommend reserving one. Not sure if they do that anymore though... if you have the time off can easily take it, check it out. If not, don’t worry about it. It may just be a good opportunity to talk to a recruiter and see how you can better your resume, but that’s likely all it is now. I think most of the hiring is coming from the in-house expos which invites are sent to the top applicants. Granted- going to NGPA could give you the added points and feedback to make your application a top candidate so it can’t hurt to go....
