Default OBAP Registration

Can anyone offer some insight to registering for this fair? I'm trying to register for the Job Fair only, but the only option I see is the Full Registration for $475. That's an exorbitant price. How do you sign up for just the fair at a reduced rate? Thanks for your help.

Register for the career fair. It's $150. I think all the appointments to sit down face to face with the recruiters are sold out, however.

You have to check on the OBAP full membership...think it's $49 or something like that...then you can register for the career fair. However, it won't tell you which companies...if any....are available to make a reservation with until you've registered. And it sounds like they're all full. I hope these career fair shams go away soon.

How come they are already sold out? Didn't it just open to registration?

Are you freaking kidding me!? This is in August right? Got damnit. I was going to do this in June - 2 months ahead of time and get signed up.

Even with WIA, 2 months ahead of time, you aren't dealing with sold out Fast passes. [XYZ].

Everyone who registered received a third party email saying appointments were full. Ive heard that there is a problem with the website and in fact they aren't all full and they are working to fix the website.

I hope that's right I couldn't sign up for any appointments so I sent an email and still no response. If I can't get an appointment I'll be selling my ticket if anyone is interested.

I might do a chargeback if they're sold out and won't refund 100%. These job fairs are ridiculous.

I just received an email saying they're redoing some of the appointments so let's see how this works.
