Four Tips On Finding Career Fairs

Nothing has the power to get you started than to simply go to a career fair or company open house and get started. But how does one find them?

1. The Washington Post Job Fair Page
• The one of the most powerful places you can go to stay alert is through the Washington Post career site. Not only can you browse their listings, but an entire tab is dedicated to finding fairs in your area.
2. Dice Career Fair
• Targeted Job Fairs, a subsidary to Dice.com, is a major player in the hosting of events. Bookmark and register with them.
3. TechExpo
• Specializing with those who possess clearances, TechExpo is on the top of its game in hosting fairs catered to its audience, and can help you find the fairs you're looking for.
  
  
4. Virginia Employment Commission
• For those living in Virginia, the Virginia Employment Commission lists technical career fair events.
5. Company Social Media Pages
• The larger firms out there typically have a well developed social media presence.
  
  In targeting such firms, keep up by following (and bookmarking) their LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and blogging places of presence. By keeping up with your favorite companies in an organized fashion (eg. create bookmark folders for each social page, use email filters for inbound alerts, etc) you can be better on top of things for the latest in their open house recruitment events.
  
  Not to mention make a better social media presence for yourself at their company.
