Blind Brook H. S. Congress Sponsors Career Fair for Students

The Blind Brook High School Congress sponsored its third annual Career Fair for students in grades 9-12.

The Blind Brook High School Congress sponsored its third annual Career Fair for students in grades 9-12. Members of the community were invited to participate in the Career Fair by sharing firsthand knowledge about their professions with students. Speakers provided attendees with information about the educational requirements to get into their field, a peek at a typical day and insight into the future outlook of their field.

 

Presenters represented a broad range of careers, including accounting, advertising, investment management, engineering, teaching, package design and medicine, among others. Students were able to attend two sessions of their choice.

 

“The goal of the Career Fair is to expose students to a wide range of occupations as they start to think about their future fields of study and possible career options,” said Brian Becker, a sophomore member of Congress and chairman of the Career Fair Committee.

 

Congress is composed of students, faculty, parents, administrators, school board members and school-related personnel.

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to aRead More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me. This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.
