Career Fairs and Hiring Events
Career fair and hiring event organizers across general, diversity, veteran, healthcare, STEM, and government hiring, plus the calendars that list what is coming up.
A hiring event puts you in front of a person instead of a resume pile. Check the employer list before you commit, bring a short introduction, and follow up with the recruiters you meet within a day or two. Virtual fairs are worth the same preparation as the in-person kind.
