Anyone ever been to one of these? It already sounds demeaning.

They're just going to hire the black girl anyway.
>>3346743
why the hell are job applicants meeting clients? sounds shady anon
>>3346743
don't go - it's MLM

Sounds like they want you to work for free.
Tell the recruiter your time is valueable and to fuck off
I once went to some event where everyone had to do several tests, so they would eventually pick some people for their traineeship.
I came out on top. I won a goodiebag. And then they told everyone they were instructed some time before to have a recruitment stop, so nobody would proceed to the next round.
Not sure why they even organized it except to keep themselves busy.
90% it's a MLM scam

yeah ive had someone ring me up twice for something like this
same thing with the corporate clients and 3 minute presentation where you have to "sell yourself". i live over 2 hours away from where they hold the event and have tried to convince me that there is employment opportunities right where i live. havent been to it yet

They're fake potential clients that work for various companies that associate with the recruiter. Basically:
>Recruiter calls you up, you say yes
>Go to what is basically a group interview
>Do some shit in a team, then do individual presentations to 'clients', actually people from different companies looking to hire
>If the companies see something they like they'll offer you a job.

Typical rat race shit you should avoid like the plague. Network. Then you can jobs without even interviewing or with token interviews.

>Network. Then you can jobs without even interviewing or with token interviews.
I fucking hate this meme. Network. HOW? When you don't have a job? You don't have money to go do anything and drink cocktails with happily employed people with income.
Wtf do you talk about? "Oh what do you do?" "Nothing I'm unemployed." "Oh nice to meet you I have to go talk to people who don't suck now."

Well you have two years right? Check what you're coworkers are doing. Hit them up for opportunities on linked in. You don't even have to physically meet them. Or hit up college buddies, etc. Some guy you know is going to work somewhere that has an opening. The better they know / respect you, the easier it is, but even a casual relationship makes it like 10x easier to get your foot in the door.
The only other alternative is mass spamming keyword tailored resumes to postings online.

Usually you just graduate from college, pass through some shit until you eventually find a job on your field and then you build your way up from there. Networking, happy hours, just be nice to your bosses and coworkers. It happens to anyone who doesn't work subjobs. It is what happened to me.
At least this is how a normal human works.
You also do know that you're supossed to connect with anyone on linkedIn you find interesting, right? You don't need to actually know the individual in person, it's not a miracle worker but it helps, got three nice job opportunities this way over the years. It's not a social network like facebook, it is more like medium. People write articles and expect other people to connect with them on there.
Don't expect to get a job on mcdonalds and start a network there.

Hmm you're in the wrong industry my man. I feel for you, don't dignify this crap, go get a huge personal loan and put it into btc and never repay it.
