Yeah, I look through Indeed, LinkedIn Jobs, and many other places, I don't need to go to an event to have someone telling me to go to their website which has nothing.

I completely agree. Especially these online fairs.
It's usually just 5-30 HR folks or C suite types basically having a circle jerk while 1000 or so job seekers listen in. You always here the same crap "we're excited for the future. We see tremendous growth in the coming year. Calgary is positioned so well to fill our growth....yada yada".
Then you're "encouraged" to apply online, no matter your background. Never given a chance to talk to anyone.
It's like a real life version of a Black Mirror episode. I hate online career fairs with the intensity of a thousand suns.
