Frequently Asked Questions - Philadelphia Job Fairs
What is a Philadelphia job fair?
A Philadelphia job fair is an in-person hiring event where multiple employers from across the city and region come together at one location to meet with job seekers, share information about open positions, accept résumés, and identify candidates for interviews and offers.
Are all Philadelphia events in person?
Yes. All of our Philadelphia job fairs are in-person events held at the Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia City Avenue, 4100 Presidential Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19131.
Do I need to register in advance?
Yes, advance registration is strongly recommended. It helps us manage capacity, keep you informed of any updates, and allows employers to know how many job seekers to expect. Walk-ins may be allowed if space permits, but spots can fill quickly.
How much does it cost to attend as a job seeker?
There is no cost for job seekers to attend our Philadelphia 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 information
- 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 to an 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 in some cases, start the process right there.
What kinds of employers attend?
You’ll typically find employers from healthcare, education, finance and insurance, professional services, technology, logistics and transportation, manufacturing, hospitality, retail, and customer service—with roles ranging from entry-level to management.
How can employers participate as exhibitors?
Employers can reserve booth space by completing the employer inquiry form or contacting our team directly. We’ll share upcoming dates, pricing, sponsorship options, and multi-city packages if you’re recruiting in more than one market.
