career fair
Job opportunity expo
A career fair is an event where employers and job seekers meet, typically held at schools, convention centers, or other large venues.
Companies set up booths to recruit candidates, distribute information, and conduct preliminary interviews.
I handed out thirty résumés at the career fair.
Also called a job fair.
