Frequently Asked Questions - Boston Job Fairs
What is a Boston job fair?
A Boston job fair is an in-person hiring event where multiple employers from the Boston area gather to meet job seekers, accept résumés, and discuss open positions. Instead of applying online one company at a time, you can talk directly with hiring managers from several organizations in a single visit.
Do I need to register in advance to attend?
Registration is strongly recommended so we can share event updates and employers can preview your résumé. However, if space allows, walk-ins are typically welcome on the day of the Boston job fair.
How much does it cost to attend as a job seeker?
There is no cost for job seekers to attend our Boston job fairs. Admission is free—your only investment is your time and preparation.
What should I bring to a Boston job fair?
Bring several printed copies of your résumé, along with a simple portfolio or folder to keep them organized. A notepad and pen can help you track recruiter names, company details, and next steps after each conversation.
What should I wear to a Boston job fair?
Business or business-casual attire is recommended. First impressions matter, so choose clothing that looks professional, neat, and appropriate for the type of roles you’re targeting in the Boston job market.
Are interviews conducted on the spot?
Yes, many employers conduct brief on-the-spot interviews during the event. If you make a strong impression, you may be invited to a same-day interview or quickly moved into the next step of the hiring process.
