SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — The Utah Department of Workforce Services will host a free-to-attend virtual job fair on Thursday, Nov. 7, where more than 40 employers are hiring for over 2,500 positions.
The job fair will feature positions in retail, government, e-commerce, transportation, health care, and aerospace and defense, among others. The job fair will be an online-only event running from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and can easily be attended through your phone or computer.
“Whether you are looking for part-time, full-time, or seasonal work, the virtual job fair is a great place to connect with multiple employers from the comfort of your own home,” said Workforce Development Director Liz Carver. “We hope that anyone looking for a new opportunity or to upscale their career will attend the fair.”
Those interested in attending the virtual job fair should prepare by uploading their resume and a professional photo to their profile with the Utah Department of Workforce Services. Job seekers should pre-register for the event online at jobs.utah.gov.
After logging in to the event, job seekers will find a digital floor plan with rows of booths, each representing an employer. Clicking on the booths will reveal the company’s profile, job openings, and social media accounts.
Job seekers can start a live chat with a hiring representative and share their resume. This can lead to a scheduled interview, a one-on-one video chat, or even an on-the-spot job offer.
In addition to the virtual job fair, the Utah Department of Workforce Services will hold two online workshops on Wednesday, Nov. 6 to help anyone looking for a new job get the most out of the virtual job fair. The first workshop will be held at 10 a.m. and the second will be held at 1 p.m.
