Let’s face it—in a way, almost all of us are looking for a job, aren’t we? If you’re unemployed, you just want the opportunity to get back to work. If you have a job that you don’t exactly love, or aren’t paid quite as much as you deserve, or have to deal with people or situations that make you cringe like nails on a chalkboard—you’d jump at the chance for something better. And even if you are enamored with your current situation, well…everyone likes to know what else is out there.

That’s why you should consider checking out BuffaloJobFinder.com’s CareerFest from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday at the Millennium Airport Hotel Buffalo (2040 Walden Ave., Buffalo). Over two dozen local companies will be on hand, all of whom are on the lookout for qualified candidates in a number of fields. We’re talking about employers as diverse as Catholic Health, GEICO, Local Edge, Sorrento Lactalis and the New York National Guard (check the event website for a full list of participating employers).

The economy is tough—that’s not exactly news for the past couple generations of Western New Yorkers. But we’re tough, too. When we see opportunities, we grab them, shake them and wring everything we can out of them. CareerFest is your opportunity for something better, if that’s what you’re looking for. And if you’re not, well, what exactly are you doing?
