The job fair thing worked for me. Went to the DC fair, talked with a CAL recruiter for 10 minutes or so and got an email for an interview 2 days later, hired today! Bit of advice for those who haven't been to one (I had not before), don't sit through all the companies presentations, leave that part early and go get in line while the presentations are still going. CAL had guys/gals take numbers and if you didn't get one early you had wait a long time to talk with them.

I agree. Buddy of mine told me the same thing. I went to the one in May (April?) in ATL. Jumpseated in on AirTran (thanks guys) that morning, got a ride from the hotel van. Stood in line for CAL. They started handing out numbers, I was 16. That gave me time to wait TWO HOURS in line for DAL. And jumseated back that evening. Paid a little more, 'cause it was "at the door", but I wasn't sure if I was going to get there that day to begin with.
Needless to say I am still here at Spirit, but that's besides the point.
If you are already working in the civilian world, no need to go to the military to civilian transition stuff, or the "rah-rah" speeches given by the companies. Get in line at the company you want to speak to. I thought it was worth the money. Got some insight into how CAL, and DAL thought about some things.

For those of you that have gotten an interview from the job fair if you don't mind me asking, what are your PIC/TT hours etc?
