Many candidates commented positively on the fair and their feedback is much appreciated. Nick Staffa commented,

"I'd like to thank you for all the work you do in setting up these fair opportunities for us all. I'm glad I decided to come to the fair this weekend. It was fairly laid back and very positive. It was run efficiently and everyone I was in contact with was very professional, from Associates to recruiters to candidates. I will surely recommend Search [Associates] to other teachers and use you all if I'm job hunting again in the future. The hope is that it won't be for a long time!"
