It's a shame, however, that some of them did not make more of an effort to at least PRETEND to take in resumes and get those resumes to the appropriate departments within their companies. I would suggest as students that you all put a list of the most blatant offenders up in a facebook wall of shame group. Then ask those in the group to have decision makers at the fair next year or their wall of shame shall become even more prominent, lol.

However this kind of fair does show which companies really are the cut above - anyone who can take care of you when you just want to apply, will take care of you as an employee. The downside to fair is it does tend to be all PR and Marketing - none of the people there have hiring power, and very few are on top of what jobs are on offer. (It's often out-sources on a per-job basis!). I just go for the free pens... In what seems to be an all digital world now, I’m not surprised you were told to ‘go online’.

I am not currently enrolled at sfsu as I am taking a semester off to get few things in order. I will be attending SFSU in fall and then will definitly join ASO. I was a member of ASO last fall and I think it is a very well managed student run organization. Thanks for the info Gilbert.

I bet most of the employers there were just there to "promote" their brand, thank god I didnt spend my afternoon there. I am also an accounting major, if you are looking for accounting related jobs, perhaps you can look in to ASO or BAP on campus.
