Are Job Fairs Helpful for Finding Remote Customer Service Jobs?

A job fair (also known as a career fair or career expo) is a recruiting event in which employers and recruiters meet with potential employees about job openings. It is an excellent way to meet a large number of potential employers at one time. These job fairs not only provide employment opportunities, but also provide a network for career exploration and professional development. Specifically, they can be really helpful for landing remote customer service jobs.

Job fairs can be hosted in-person or virtually. If in-person, job fairs are often organized in large rooms where employers set up booths that display company information. A company usually sends several team members to manage their booth - they can speak to current job openings, the application process and anything else regarding the organization. Virtual job fairs (or remote job fairs) are very similar but they are hosted online instead of in-person. You can usually see who is attending ahead of time and set up time with companies you’re interested in speaking with. 

A good way to find job fairs is to search online for one using something like “remote customer service job fair” or "virtual job fair near me". Eventbrite typically has a few options each month - we suggest searching for virtual job fairs (or in-person job fairs) on that website and finding one in your area.
