Union Station, Toronto's main rail station, is a block away from the Convention Centre,

Streetcars, buses, subways and GO trains provide the city with one of North America's safest and most efficient public transit systems. It connects all parts of Toronto and outlying areas to Union Station, the city's transportation hub. Union Station is accessible from the Centre via the Skywalk.

I'll be going after work LOL

I went last year and to be honest it was quite lame. Not even worth the $3.50. Any worthwile booths had lines as long as a special event at the Guvt just to hand them your resume! There's no way I'm waiting 45 mins (which was what some people had been waiting) to drop off my resume along with 3000 other people. The resume consultation lines were just as bad so basically ended up walking around looking at a bunch of half assed booths that were all no-name companies anyway. The cops had a booth and some model agency which was the only one I enjoyed since they had some hot models working it Other than that I found it to be a complete waste of time. Others I talked to felt the same. Not sure if this year will be different but I doubt it.

what sorts of jobs do they have to offer?

Well, either people didn't take me seriously or they didn't know what I was talking about - these events usually tend to be pretty choked up with companies like Primerica, Vector Marketing, etc. Basically these companies are always on the lookout for more workers because (a) they can hardly get any, and (b) labour for them is cheap because they pay just on commission, or some ridiculously low salary plus commission. Even though they're legit companies, they feel very "scammy" when you deal with them.

There are always some good companies, of course, but like Trigger said, there's an insane amount of competition for them, so it's hardly even worth it.

I personally do not recommend going unless you're very desperate or fresh out of high school (or still in high school).

well their listing the exhibitors today, or so the website says.. not yet as of right now though (i just checked) should be interesting once we find out.. I gotta get my resume ready.. the only problem realy is.. is that i've had so many different kinds and levels of education and different kinds of jobs that i'm not exactly sure where I fit in. I'm sure i'd be much over qualified for some jobs.. and much under qualified for others.. BLAH!
