  4. If the event is free, why do I need to pre-register?

    Pre-registration is highly encouraged and will expedite the check in process when you arrive at the job fair & employer panel. Additionally, it helps us keep you informed about any updates or changes related to the event.

  5. What should I do to prepare for this event?

    We encourage you to come to the event dressed professionally and ready to engage with potential employers. In addition to dressing professionally, if you have a resume be sure to bring multiple copies to share with employers that you might be interested in working with.

    It's helpful to research the businesses you are interested in talking with at the event. This leaves a good impression on the employer showing your interest.

  6. What is a professional headshot and how do I prepare for mine?

    A professional headshot is a valuable asset that can enhance your professional image to your online presence.  Think of this as picture day for your business personal brand.  Your clothing, hair and any makeup or jewelry should be professional and not distracting. 

    The professional headshots will be optional at the event.

  7. What happens at the employer panel?

    Learn directly from employers about how young job seekers can standout in the application and interview process. This will offer valuable insight about how to successfully navigate the job market as a teen.

    Yes! The employers and resources at the event are geared toward youth/young adult job seekers. We welcome family members and supports to attend and learn about opportunities for the young people in their lives.
