Candidate Information

Job-seekers looking to move into a workplace environment that values diversity will find LatPro's annual career fairs an exciting experience. You’ll have the opportunity to meet, and interview with, motivated recruiters from both the public and private sectors. Naturally, your first interest may be securing a job offer in your field of expertise, and many of our job seeking attendees do leave with scheduled follow-up interviews. But our job fairs offer you much more than just opportunities to apply for a new position. Attendees receive guidance and access to follow up training on interview skills, techniques for discussing career options with leaders in your field, and how to craft the type of resumes that bring results in a competitive job market. This is an opportunity for you to come away with valuable information on a wide range of companies and career paths; information that can help guide you in your professional future.

Whether you are actively seeking a new position, or are considering changing career paths in the near future, our annual Diversity Job Fairs provide real value for an investment of your time. Take a look at what attendees of previous LatPro Job Fairs have had to say.

 You guys do a great job! This is the FIRST career fair I've attended and I wasn't very excited about going... You prompted me to try it out.
