Upon arriving to Heth, it was exactly as I had envisioned. There were masses of people standing around. Most were either discussing what kind of job they wanted or asking all of their drinking buddies if they were "going out tonight." My guess is that most of the conversations pertained to the latter. In the ballroom, the tables were neatly arranged and many of the attending companies had vast displays with TVs and computers.

As I walked by one Police booth, the representative asked me if I wanted a free police car, complete with lights and sirens. Along with the outrageous number of Police forces on hand were the military groups. Radford University must have thought this was an important part of the career fair because all divisions of the military forces were in attendance.

I was somewhat surprised at the lack of technology-centered companies in attendance. I realize that Radford University doesn't have the highest reputation as being a high-tech school, but I was surprised to only see only one or two companies that were strictly looking for graduating IS/IT students.

On the other hand, if I were an art or music major, I would have also been disappointed at the number of companies on hand for those fields. In my stroll through the ballroom, I didn't see any groups looking for students in the visual or performing arts fields.
