JobFairX Technology Chicago Virtual Job Fair
Upload a resume, get matched, interview by video: a tech job fair from your desk.
Virtual
What this event is
JobFairX's Technology Chicago fair runs Thursday, October 22 from 11 AM to 3 PM. Job seekers create a free profile, the platform matches resumes to employer openings, and matched candidates are invited to request video, phone or in-person interviews. Free for job seekers; no employer list is published ahead of time.
Roles you will actually see
Who should go
Developers and IT professionals who want low-effort exposure to Chicago employers, especially for mid-market and IT-services roles.
Matching platforms are only as good as your resume keywords, so load the exact titles and technologies you want matched before the fair. Expect more IT-services and staffing firms than product companies; that is fine for a first job or a contract-to-hire path. Sponsorship is a coin flip at this tier, so ask before accepting an interview slot. Keep expectations modest and treat it as a supplement, not your main event.
Show up prepared

Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
