Hi Jim,

I work for Hire Opportunities Career Fairs and noticed you are in Irving.  I am hosting a career fair in Irving in December and wanted to invite you to recruit at that event.  You can go to www.hireopportunities.net for more information and you can also use coupon code 40off for $40 off the registrations fee.

Thanks!

Tamara
