The Citywide Job Fair is one of the largest job events in Chicago, and offers a unique opportunity to improve your job search – 24/7 – both in person and online.
Dozens of employers will be available on the UIC Forum floor, looking to speak with job seekers and answer questions. Additional resume and job search resources will be available to help you present your best self.
But your experience isn’t limited to just the day of the event. Upon registering, you will join other Citywide Job Fair participants in the Chicago Urban League's community on Jobcase. This enables all job fair attendees to receive event updates, and to also share any tips or support with each other before and after the event.
Since you’ll be meeting with employers, business attire is required.
