The Los Angeles Career Fair is the Best Resource for Finding the Right Job for You
Los Angeles is among the most thrilling employment markets in the USA. The City of Angels has professional opportunity around every corner: from the booming tech startups of Silicon Beach to entertainment giants in Hollywood, healthcare systems throughout the county to a robust financial District downtown. However, that vast expanse of options can be daunting — and that’s where the Los Angeles Career Fair is here to help.
This event is not simply a hiring expo, but hosted by Nationwide Career Fairs. It is a face-to-face networking event for motivated job seekers to meet recruiters and HR professionals directly from local businesses and Fortune 500 companies. No filtered inboxes. No automatic rejection e-mail messages. It’s you, your resume, and a real conversation.
So what is the Los Angeles Career Fair?
The Los Angeles Career Fair is a professional hiring event where several employers bring their hiring needs together under one roof to meet, interview and hire qualified job seekers from a wide range of industries. This career fair is designed and presented by Nationwide Career Fairs, who have more than nine years of experience and have hosted more than 575 career fairs, to get the employer and candidate together in a small, efficient format that allows for maximum meaningful interaction.
The event starts at 9.30 AM and finishes at 12.30 PM at the Hilton, Los Angeles, CA. The unique benefit of this is that the attendance is free to job seekers. No registration fees, no hidden cost except your time, your preparation and your ambition.

Preparing for the LA Career Fair:
Good luck isn’t a prerequisite for success at a career fair. There is little doubt that the walk away winners of callbacks and job offers are always the ones who come well-prepared, well-dressed, and well-focused. If you want to stand out from the crowd, here are some tips:
Update your resume. Take several hard copies (10-15). Focus content on skills for industries served. An attractive, single-page design is ideal for a recruiter read.
Dress professionally. It is highly recommended that participants wear ‘to impress’. The proper attire is business professional or smart business casual. It only takes seconds to make a first impression at a job fair!
Register in advance. A list of participating companies will be sent to confirmed attendees 72 hours before the event. This will allow you to dig deep into each employer, prepare talking points, and show up with a purpose.
Write your elevator speech. There will be limited time for each recruiter. Write a 30-60 second introduction that tells your audience about yourself, your business, and your needs and then practice it until it feels comfortable and natural.
Bring a notepad. Write down the names, roles and important points of every conversation. If you send a follow up email after the event with a personal touch, the chances of you getting better results are greatly enhanced.
Why Career Fairs are Still Relevant?
With LinkedIn apps and tele-interviews, one may ask, “Why bother with a face-to-face career fair?
Often, online job applications are subjected to filtering using an applicant tracking system before they are seen by a human. Career Fairs completely eliminate those filters. You are in front of a recruiter, face to face and make your case directly to them. Research consistently demonstrates that candidates who are interviewed in person are more memorable, more trusted and more likely to be called back.
In addition to job leads, career fairs provide a LinkedIn can’t match advantage—the real-time market intelligence. Talk to recruiters to get the real-world information on skills that are in demand, salary expectations, company culture, and which companies are expanding. Whether you get the job or not, that information is of great value.
The LA Career Fair is a worthwhile event for Employers
The Los Angeles Career Fair is a premier event for employers seeking to hire top talent, providing an exclusive opportunity to connect with a targeted and driven applicant base. Hundreds of people apply every day to each event and the process enables fast and subjective evaluation that can’t be achieved online.
Registered employers can place their vacant positions with hundreds of candidates and choose their attendees before the event. The registration process can be found at nationwidecareerfairs.com/employers and registration often fills up rapidly as the date approaches.
