Thanks for your great advice. I have heard that the Search database is superior, so if they were the first fair in Boston I would attend. That is the source of my conundrum, since ISS will be first. Do I wait for the Search, or is there the risk that jobs will be taken at ISS?

There is a post that brings up a good point that if I am highly qualified I will be on the radar prior. Another concern is that there are a lot of highly qualified candidates who will go to ISS, instead of Search. Do a lot of candidates who sign up have interviews via Skype prior to the fairs?

I have signed up for TIE to start looking for positions before, so the Feb fair is a back-up plan.

Again, thanks for the input!

I plan on attending a Boston February 2015 fair, and am not sure which to go to. ISS is before Search, so is that one better to attend? Do admins hire at the first fair in general, or do they wait until the second one in Boston as they often sign-up for both.

Is one organization preferable over the other as far as access to resources and communication, etc.?

Thanks!
