Job fairs

So I went to a county job fair recently as moral support of a friend in need of a new job. He’s got a family on the way and is, rightfully, scared sh*tless.

In reality, I do not own a business. I am not poaching potential employees and I really had no business entertaining him as I was serving a purpose of encouragement for my friend (who btw got 2 offers from this fair- I’m not sure if he’ll take either bc like I said… they offer jack). But the look on this man’s face brought me joy and I thought maybe some of the fine folks here could use this in some way, I hope you can. Most of you are far more creative than I am.
