Are you looking for a better career opportunity? Last month's (June 10, 1998) Los Angeles Times Career Days Employment Expo was sponsored by a diverse range of industries from telecommunications, financial services, health care, retail, and information technology. The Career Expo was held at the Long Beach Convention Center, and information on future expositions is available from the employment section of the Los Angeles Times classifieds section.

Career expositions are good networking opportunities, and this one was no exception. For $10, the sponsors had a distribution station where a single copy of your resume would be distributed to all the attending companies. The Internet partner of the Career Expo was CareerPath.com, and those candidates submitting resumes were also entered in CareerPath.com's Resume Connection database. In fact, CareerPath.com was the hidden benefit to many job seekers who hadn't explored using the Internet for job search. CareerPath.com posts the largest number of current job listings with more than 250,000 openings at any time.
