career fairs

Job-hunting gatherings

Career fairs are organized events where employers and job seekers meet, typically held at universities, convention centers, or online.

Companies set up booths or virtual sessions to recruit candidates, while attendees circulate with résumés, hoping to make connections: I landed three interviews at the career fair.

Also called job fairs.
