🌆📅 Los Angeles Job Fairs and Events September 2025 💼🌇
Summer’s almost gone… but the job market is actually picking up as fall approaches! We’ve heard overblown claims about low unemployment all year, but I have personally noticed that companies seem to be in the midst of a hiring trend.
I like to advocate for job fairs and workshops because it is too easy to get lost in the shuffle of crowded online application channels. Online job searches can be further hindered by AI, scams, and other institutional gatekeepers. Hiring events allow for candidates to stand out and speak for themselves to people who can actually hire them—sometimes on the spot!
As usual, I’ve perused Eventbrite, the CA Employment and Development Department, UCLA, and the LA Urban League for job fairs and events to share with fellow Angeleno Jobcasers. I found 5 promising listings in the LA area so far, starting September 2nd!
For Jobcasers outside of LA, be sure to check Eventbrite as well as your state and local employment resources for listings near you!

Feel free to add other job fair tips in the comments! Good luck out there, fellow Jobcasers!
Have you ever taken a job you weren’t sure about, but it ended up changing your life?
Yes. 20yrs. When I went on my 1st group interview at Victoria's Secret @ Forum Shops. 9 other ladies in heels and full make-up. Plus, my Plain Jane in flats with a dress shirt, pinned-stripe vest, & pants suit. They hired me as a seasonal cashier. I worked hard, covered people shifts, closed, came back, & opened. Then management decided to keep me switched to P.I.N.K sales associate 3 pay raises & 5yrs. Was the best I loved every minute.

“Do you believe giving a 2-week notice is still the right thing to do, even if there’s a risk it could backfire—like getting let go immediately or being treated differently? Have you ever been in that situation, and how did it play out for you?”

persistence with learning everything about the job and the people
I have twice, after being told the company had more people to interview, told the interviewer that they didn't need to talk to anyone else because they had already found the best candidate. I got both jobs.

Just was what the company gives me every year not much but it's something
Here in NYC, the pay increase was $6,200 overall and unfortunately plenty of overtime. I say that because it's very hard dealing with people with decency and the paperwork, lot's of paperwork
