The NYC Healthcare Job Fair was honestly a waste of time. I attended with the hope of connecting directly with employers, only to be met with QR codes and online applications with zero personal interaction. That's not what a job fair should be about. It's time for change.

Job seekers walk into these fairs expecting meaningful contacts and opportunities to showcase their skills, not just another digital application form. Yet, all we got was the same process we could have done at home. This disconnect needs to be addressed if we want job fairs to genuinely help people find employment.

Having on-site interviews and real conversations at these fairs is crucial. It benefits both employers and job seekers by providing immediate feedback and connections. This is especially vital in healthcare, where personal interaction and communication are key. Why should we settle for anything less?

We need to demand that job fairs in NYC offer on-site interviews to truly be effective. Our time is valuable, and our city can do better than directing us to feel like another faceless resume in a database. Employers and organizers should create spaces that prioritize humanity and efficiency over mere technological convenience.

Sign this petition if you believe that job fairs in NYC should offer direct contact and on-site interviews, making them beneficial for everyone involved.
