Don't be too hard on yourself!

The only experience I have of career fairs comes from american movies and they don't look like the best environment to be noticed if you don't have a lot of skills. Think about how many unknown juniors swing by dropping their CV.

Software development in a way is like many other jobs. Networks are important, so, meet people IRL and online, be known.

This post may give you some info about how to recover from what you perceive as a failure:

Did I screw up by not biding my time and "launching" during the later career fair a few months later?

Honestly? We'll never know, so in a way... who cares :D
