Is doing that frowned upon or taboo by the affiliated group? Frowned upon by the recruiters/companies...? Will there be haters rolling their eyes saying “oh he/she’s not even gay (or black or female) and they’re here trying to smooze at our event ...” good networking tactics regardless??
No. The various groups benefit from revenue from the fees. The job fairs are not so much gay, women, black, etc job fairs as they are job fairs for everyone hosted by these groups.
