Job fairs are a fantastic opportunity for any job-seeker, whether you are a new grad or someone considering a career change. They are an efficient use of time: you are exposed to many potential employers over one or a few days. There is an invaluable advantage to speaking to hiring managers and company representatives in person. Prepare questions to ask—what is it like working for company Y? What do you like most about working there? What opportunities for advancement are there?

With that said, take a look at the schedule of upcoming job fairs in Ontario. If your resumes and cover letters are not yielding any interviews, a job fair may make a difference!
