Why should I attend a LeadingAge California (LAC) Career Fair?

LeadingAge California’s Career Fairs are a FREE resource for you to discover job opportunities in the aging services. You can meet hiring managers, get interviewed and learn about the employment opportunities and benefits of each employer.

I am currently working - should I attend?

Yes! Even if you are currently employed, attending a Career Fair allows you to see what other job opportunities are out there. If anything, it is a great way to expand your network.

How does the career fair work?

LAC is offering two different formats for the Career Fairs. One is hosted completely online – our Virtual Career Fair. The other is an in person event hosted in Los Angeles. Depending on which type of Career Fair format is convenient for your schedule, this is what you can expect.

Virtual Career Fair

The event occurs on November 16th at three different time slots. They may have different employers at each time slot so you can attend one or all three. You are able to pre-register in advanced and upload your information online. Then on the day of, you will log in and start visiting the virtual booths and get information from each employer vendor the same way as you would in person. Each virtual booth will have a representative there to answer any/all of your questions regarding open positions. They can also interview on the spot through Chat or Call feature in the Virtual Career Fair Space. This allows you and the Employers to connect regardless of your location. As long as you have a smart phone, tablet or computer with an internet connection – you can participate.
