Definition: A career fair (also know as a job fair) is a recruiting event where job seekers meet with multiple employers.

Attending a career fair allows job seekers to meet with a variety of employers at one convenient location, usually a hotel or conference center. Attending a job fair will give you the chance to meet with representatives from a variety of companies - like "one stop shopping" at the mall.

The company representatives will provide information about general career opportunities as well as specific details on current openings.
