Times are hard and business owners are looking for good people to hire. Anywhere you can go with a group of owners to network with is a plus. Take your resume and pass it out and talk to owners, they might not be hiring but they might know someone who is.Now saying this does not invite you to crash a BBA meeting. The Expo that was open to public would have been good. So look for other ones that the public is welcomed and good luck.
