career expo
Employment showcase event
A career expo is an event where employers and job seekers meet, typically held in a large venue with booths representing different companies.
Attendees circulate, learn about opportunities, and often submit résumés or conduct brief interviews on the spot: I picked up three business cards at the career expo.
Also called a job fair.
