Here are the Top 3 places to find a job fair and get job search help. Some places like the Free Library of Philadelphia help you update your resume and prep for interviews:
The Free Library of Philadelphia
Everybody needs a library card and should try to visit their local library a few times a year. The library is such an underutilized resource. In addition to books, they have countless workshops resume writing to basic computer classes - both in-person and virtually. For example:
Attending virtual job fairs will save you time and energy in finding a job. You may have already sent dozens of resumes to employers, only to wonder why they don’t get back to you. The key is getting in front of the right recruiter or hiring manager at the right time. Register today to make sure you’re one of the candidates hired at this job fair.
