Lots of great events are held at the Mohe­gan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. From excit­ing Pen­guins hockey games to big time con­certs, there’s some­thing for every­one. While these types of activ­i­ties are enter­tain­ing and fun, they are spec­ta­tor events. The audi­ence can sing along with Alice in Chains but face it, it’s a good time, nice mem­o­ries and some good pics if you’re lucky.

Once a year there is another type of event at the Arena that is totally dif­fer­ent. It’s an inter­ac­tive event that can lit­er­ally change your life. It’s the NEPA Job Fair. Sim­i­lar events are held in cities across the coun­try every year. So, if you’re lucky enough to have landed here through find­ing this blog in a Face­book or Twit­ter post or Google search it’s for you too.

Now of course, you can walk in the Arena doors and on to the floor and weave in and out of the maze of employer booths like a spec­ta­tor – that’s what most peo­ple do. Then you’ll go home and talk about how it was, “OK but noth­ing spe­cial, there are no oppor­tu­ni­ties around here.”

That’s the big mis­take most peo­ple make, they treat a job fair as a spec­ta­tor sport. Find out how to work the job fair over at the NEPA Job Fair blog…
