Well I'd like to thank everyone for their best wishes and advice. This was sponsered by Ford, Monster and other reputable companies. What a joke! First, I wore a pant suit and did take a brief case with my resume. I waited until later in the day hoping that the crowds had thinned, I'm going to guess that they had many thousands because at 2:30 it was still packed. Every "desk" that I was able to get to said, "you need to go to our web site to find available jobs, I don't know whats out there". No one would accept my resume, they said I needed to apply online. My employer was not there nor were any banks in the entire Country, plenty of colleges, armed forces and a few out of state companies. Most people dressed in horrible clothes. Some men in suits/ties with briefcases and women in dress suits, but they were far and few. No auto companies (no surprise), companies like 2 men and a truck, and many trucking companies. Talked to ICE (immigration and customs) and they said for most jobs they don't take anyone over 37. TSA is hiring but I want no part of that. So, this was a major let down. I had hoped for more. The only good news, is if these are some of the people I'm going to compete with I think I have a lead.
