Frequently Asked Questions – Charlotte Job Fairs
What is a Charlotte job fair?
A Charlotte job fair is an in-person hiring event where multiple employers from across the city and metro area come together at Hilton Charlotte University Place to meet with job seekers, share information about open positions, accept résumés, and identify candidates for interviews and offers.
Are all Charlotte events in person?
Yes. All of our Charlotte job fairs are in-person events hosted at Hilton Charlotte University Place, 8629 J M Keynes Drive, Charlotte, NC 28262.
Do I need to register in advance?
Yes, advance registration is strongly recommended. It helps us manage capacity, keep you updated with event information, and allows employers to anticipate how many job seekers will attend. Walk-ins may be allowed if space permits, but events can fill quickly.
How much does it cost to attend as a job seeker?
There is no cost for job seekers to attend our Charlotte job fairs. Admission is free—your investment is your time and preparation. Employers pay to exhibit.
What should I bring?
- Multiple printed copies of your résumé
- A list of past employers, dates, and references (for applications)
- A notepad or your phone to take notes and save contact details
- A simple “elevator pitch” about who you are and what you’re looking for
What should I wear?
Dress in professional or sharp business-casual attire, similar to what you’d wear for a job interview. First impressions matter, especially at in-person events.
Are interviews conducted on the spot?
Often, yes. Many employers use the job fair to conduct short screening interviews or extended conversations. If there’s a strong match, they may schedule a formal interview shortly after the event—or begin the process right there.
What kinds of employers attend?
You’ll typically find employers from banking and financial services, technology, logistics and transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, energy, retail, hospitality, and business services—with roles ranging from entry-level to management.
