General Information
An in-person Job Fair is being planned during the DPP Meeting this year. The Job Fair will begin on Tuesday, October 31 through Thursday, November 2, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. MDT, at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel in Denver, Colorado.
Career Counseling and Resume Help Desk
Back by popular demand, the Career Counseling and Resume Help will also be set up in the Job Fair area at the Sheraton Hotel. Continue to check this website for more information as the event gets closer.
IMPORTANT: Please be aware that the career counseling and resume help desk is not a place to interview for jobs. The purpose of the career counseling and resume desk is for attendees to receive general advice on careers from volunteers. If attendees wish to interview for positions advertised at the job fair, they will need to register for the job fair and apply for those positions formally, as described in the job seeker instructions.
