What the City Is Promising, and What It Isn't

The city's official announcement from Economic Development & Opportunity describes employers from a range of industries ready to meet job seekers, explore open positions with them, and point them toward local workforce resources. It pitches the fair to job seekers at every career stage.

Here is the honest part: as of this writing, the city has not published a list of participating employers or a headcount. So don't drive over expecting a specific company to be there. If a particular employer matters to you, call the center at (562) 570-3700 the week of the fair and ask.

Why the Venue Is the Real Bonus

Most job fairs pack up and leave at noon. This one is held inside the city's Adult Career Services Center, which stays open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. That means the building hosting the fair is the same place the city runs its adult career services out of, and you can come back after the booths come down. If a recruiter tells you your resume needs work, you will already know where to go for help.

Different event, different day: if you were planning on the Diversity Career Group fair on October 22 at the Long Beach Marriott, that one sits directly across Airport Plaza Drive, runs on a Thursday, and uses a sit-down interview format. Our fall job fairs guide has the full season.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

RSVP anyway. Walk-ins are welcome, but filling out the city's form takes two minutes and helps staff plan.
Get there early. It is a three-hour window, and the best conversations happen before the line builds.
Print a stack of resumes, one page, and keep a PDF on your phone for recruiters who ask you to email it on the spot.
Dress one notch above the job. Business casual clears almost every booth.
Plan your route. The center sits in the Airport Plaza business park near Long Beach Airport. Give yourself extra time on the 405 at morning rush.
