T.C. Williams High School cafeteria turned into a powerhouse of professional networking Tuesday morning.

Hundreds of job seekers flocked to the Job Hunters Boot Camp hosted by U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (D-8th) on Tuesday morning.

The cafeteria was awash in dark suits and discussion. Even if attendees didn't leave with a job right away, they left with any number of keychains, flashlights, cloth bags, pens and more.

Job seekers spoke with staff from a range of companies and organizations including the Arlington Employment Center, Boeing, CACI, Hero2Hired, Inova Health System, JobLink and Virginia Commerce Bank.
