The Global Diversity Career Expos & Multilingual Job Fairs are primarily for multilingual and cross-culturally competent professionals seeking to leverage these skills to some level in the workplace. But in the absolute spirit of diversity & inclusion, non-bilingual candidates seeking full-time, part-time or internship positions are also welcome-from all levels and of all backgrounds! At the request of some of our participating employers, we’ve even created a section on the exhibit floor for those quality candidates who may not be bilingual but seek to find better employment opportunities thru this forum.

While candidates can make quick introduction with recruiters at their booths, private interview rooms will be available for more in-depth discussion and immediate consideration of candidates. ADMISSION IS ABSOLUTELY FREE FOR ALL JOB SEEKERS (students & professionals, alike)!

Pre-Registration is REQUIRED thru MultiLingualPros.com. While some employers may access candidates’ resumes and schedule private interviews in advance, attendees should bring multiple copies of their resume and be prepared to make the best possible impression!
