I know they hire at R-ATP mins, but usually only inside their programs with certain schools with rare external exceptions. Again, worth going? Or will I be a laughing stock around there? Also, do they sponsor ATP-CTP?
It's worth going at a minimum just to check it out and get the feel of what these events are like. The possibility of getting hired is there. You don't catch any fish if your line isn't in the water so check it out and if you don't get a bite the next time you go to one these things you will be that much better at it and probably will get hired.
