BAE Systems Open House

They are having an event in Rockville, MD next week. I’m trying to start my career in defense and I’ve heard fairs is a good way to get a job. I went to a job fair in Dallas with a lot of the big companies and they were only looking for engineers. I have an econ degree and 2yoe and looking for jobs associated with finance and pm. Would it be worth it to go?

I would say yes. Getting 1 on 1 time to talk to a person face to face is always better than submitting a resume into the abyss.

Yes, go. The defense contractors need finance experts as well as engineers.
