# summit-FreewayTestimonial4

[00:00] My name is Chris Fairmerson, I'm a job seeker and I'm here just to uh meet people, network and maybe find a position that fits my role. I think the most valuable thing would be uh networking with different people, not necessarily um those that are even in the field that you're looking for, but you never know who might have a position open. So if you're somebody looking for a job, an event like this is definitely going to do more than send your resume on LinkedIn. Meeting someone face to face sort of gives you a leg up on the person who just sent their resume and didn't show up.
