SALT LAKE CITY (July 8, 2024) – The Utah Department of Workforce Services is hosting a statewide virtual job fair, Thursday, July 11. Approximately 40 Utah employers will participate in the free online event. Employers at the event are hiring for thousands of open positions statewide.

“We encourage any Utahns who are looking for a new job or to change careers to come to the virtual job fair.” said Liz Carver, Workforce Development director. “Before attending, make sure to tailor your resume to the type of job you are searching for.

After logging in, participants will be able to see a digital floor plan with rows of booths, each representing an employer. After clicking on an employer booth, the job seeker can see the company profile, job openings and social media. They can also start a live chat with a hiring representative and share their resume. Employers can schedule interviews, start one-on-one video chats or even make job offers on the spot.
