SCHEDULED CAREER FAIRS & OPEN HOUSES
(Metro Washington/Baltimore – MidAtlantic Area)
January 2, 2011
A word of caution: check with both the sponsor and the hosting facility for listed Career Fairs
and Open Houses before leaving home. Also, see Special Notes at the end of the listing for additional
sponsors of Job Fairs across the nation and other relevant career and search web listings. This listing is a
“pay it forward” contribution of my firm, D&A Industries, Ltd. When attending Career Fairs be sure to
bring plenty of resumes, more than you plan to distribute. When attending an Open House be sure to bring
a half-dozen copies of your resume. Please feel free to forward this listing to others you feel can benefit
from the information and ability to plan ahead.
