Job Fair and Career Advice

I'm heading to a teacher job fair today. I don't really think that it's going to yield high results so therefore you may wonder why I'm potentially wasting my time, it's because I'm afraid of always wondering "what if." The fact that it could remotely open up some doors or give me some leads somewhere is enough. There are going to be a lot of out of state districts as well has quite a few districts around the area in which we live so I figure it can't hurt to "get my resume out there." R went to that job fair and it was a total waste of time and this very well could yield the same result but at least I'll know that I did everything possible at the time being.

R posted on Link.ed I.n for some career help and there was a guy that contacted him that does this for his job right now. He's retired and has been highly successful in his career so now he's helping other people. Usually he charges for these services but he happens to offer it free to alumni of the university that we all graduated from. R was talking to the guy yesterday when I got home from work and then had another 2 hour phone call with him last night, only to pick it back up this afternoon. He's being very helpful and it totally redoing R's resume. Apparently, R's resume sucks and he's not surprised that he hasn't gotten a job. This guy's resume seems totally unconventional but he definitely knows what he's talking about so we're sure that the changes are going to help. He also told R about some different career sites that offer some pay options to get your resume sent to hundreds of potential employers around our area. R has gotten some great responses to use in interviews about why he's no longer at his last job and what he's been doing in the mean time. The guy said that he gives R one month before he finds something, we're hoping he's right!
