[Job-Discussions] Career Fair at Convention

[Richard Davis]

NFB National Convention Career Fair

July 2, 2023, 1:00 to 4:00 pm Central

Join us Sunday, July 2, 2023, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Central for our
National Convention Career Fair, to be held at the Hilton Americas -
Houston – 1600 Lamar Street, Houston, TX 77010. There is no charge for
employers or job seekers.

The National Federation of the Blind career fairs are events for blind
people seeking jobs to connect with employers, and an opportunity for
employers to seek more talent for their teams.

*This event will be held in-person – there is not a virtual option.*

Each registered employer will have a table and chairs, and registered job
seekers will circulate around the room talking to employers. We will
provide a list of employers and Employment Committee members will help
direct traffic. The National Convention is the largest national event in
the Federation year, and draws jobseekers from each of the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Local, regional, and national
employers also attend.

Here is the link for Registration for Job Seekers -

Registration for the career fair is required for both job seekers and
employers. Walk-ins will not be admitted. To attend, *you must register by
12:00 noon Eastern on Friday June 16, 2023*. We will not be able to accept
registrations after that time.

When you register for the career fair, please be sure to give complete
answers, as employers will use the information you submit to pre-screen
you. Remember to give us permission to send them your registration
information and resume. If you do not do that, they will not be able to
contact you before the career fair and will not know who you are when you
come to their table. Of course, the choice is up to you.

For more information on the career fair, please contact Jennifer Wenzel,
Employment Committee Chair, at jenwen314 at gmail.com, John Dubay, Employer
Liaison, at jdubay at leadsatscale.com, or Rachel Kuntz at
