I live in the US and signed up for the January 20 New York session on November 30. I then received an email requesting that my resume be sent so they can share it with the employers attending the session. In the email there was even a note that says 'See you in New York'. I sent the resume right away. A week later I got another email that is a reminder to send my resume and it states that if I already sent it then thanks but if not I should send it and add NYC in the subject so they know which session I have signed up for I think this just went out to everyone that signed up not to me directly). The concern is that they have yet to send me details of the event. I sent an email last week to promotions@gnb.ca asking about the details of the event and they haven't responded. Now today is almost the end of the year, shouldn't they already send the event details in case I have to make travel plans? I live only a two hour drive from New York City so I am not going to take a plane anyway, but is this normal? When you sign up for a session do they take a long time to send you details? Now I am wondering if they sent it to me, got into my junk and then was automatically deleted. Any insights from someone who has been to a session before will be appreciated. Thanks!
1 - Yes, they r busy and do not always respond immediately.
2 - Looks like u have been invited to the session and the resume is not to decide whether u should go or not - It is just so that they can give it to the employers who will be joining them.
3 - Unlike most of the seminars in 2016, these seminars have employers coming with them and it will be more like an interview by the company.
4 - Dont make the travel plans yet, last year they cancelled Boston session and just held session in NY - cause less people were coming. With the restrictions this time in attending session - chances are that few people will be coming in. On second thought though - since u r going to NY, it wouldnt matter cause thats the main location (other location may be cancelled).
5 - Last time, they gave out time and exact location a week before the scheduled date. So you can expect the same - mostly it will be after 5pm.
6 - This was the email on 5th May for 12th May session in NY last year
