Fall 2026 Dallas Job Fairs & Hiring Events: Your Complete Guide

Share:

DALLAS, TX — Fall is when Dallas employers try to lock in their year-end hires, and the hiring calendar shows it. Between early October and the week before Thanksgiving, fourteen in-person hiring events are on the calendar across Dallas County and the Metroplex. The first ten have now taken place: FedEx and Aramark hiring events at county workforce centers on October 7, a Revolution hiring event in Garland and sit-down interviews in Farmers Branch on October 8, a Mesquite ISD hiring event at the Garland Workforce Center and a Macy's and Bluemercury holiday hiring day at Dallas-area stores on October 22, a career fair off Highway 360 in Arlington on October 29, the veteran-focused, open-to-all Hiring Red, White & You! job fair at Gilley's Dallas on November 4, and a Chick-fil-A hiring event in Red Bird and a Best Hire job fair in the Market Center area near the Design District on November 12. Still ahead: a health care job fair at the Opportunity Center in South Dallas on November 18, then three events on November 19: a Midway manufacturing hiring event in Pleasant Grove, the Hiring Red, White & You! fair at the Marriott Dallas Allen, open to everyone, and the DAV RecruitMilitary Dallas Veterans Job Fair at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. If you want to talk to a hiring manager instead of feeding another online application into the void, these are your dates.

Fourteen Dallas-area hiring events between October 7 and November 19; ten have already taken place. Seven are single-employer hiring events and seven are multi-employer job fairs, each one working a little differently.

9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. | Redbird Workforce Center, 3560 W. Camp Wisdom Road, Suite 110, Dallas, TX 75237

This event has passed.

FedEx is recruiting part-time morning couriers at $22.11 an hour, with routes in the Grand Prairie area.

Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas has the listing on its FedEx hiring event page. → See details

Aramark Hiring Event — Wednesday, October 7

9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. | The Opportunity Center, 1610 S. Malcolm X Blvd., Dallas, TX 75226

This event has passed.

Same morning, same hours, other side of town. Aramark is filling Patient Services Worker Floater and Environmental Services Worker Floater roles, support jobs where you cover different shifts or areas as needed. Pay is not posted. Bring resume copies, come ready to interview, and make sure your WorkInTexas account is active and current. See the Aramark hiring event page. → See details

Dallas Job Fair, Farmers Branch — Thursday, October 8

11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. | DoubleTree Farmers Branch, 11611 Luna Road, Farmers Branch, TX 75234

This event has passed.

Diversity Career Group runs this one as a sit-down interview format rather than a room full of booths. You sit across from a recruiter or hiring manager and talk for real. The organizer pitches it to entry-level candidates, recent graduates and experienced professionals, with sales, IT, government, education, health care, retail and customer service named as the target fields. It is free, and you can register online or at the door. Bring at least a dozen copies of your resume and dress for an interview, because that is what it is. The two-hour window is short, so get there near the start. Registration is on the Diversity Career Group event page. → See details

Revolution Hiring Event — Thursday, October 8

11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. | Garland Workforce Center, 530 Clara Barton Blvd., Suite 270, Garland, TX 75042

This event has passed.

The biggest job list of the week. Revolution is hiring a resin mixer, an electrician, repo and line attendants, extrusion operators, shipping and general material handlers and a production shift supervisor, plus a strategic accounts manager and a director of circulation solutions. Hires must pass a drug and background screening. Pay is not posted. It overlaps with the Farmers Branch fair, so pick the one that fits your work. Details are on the Revolution hiring event page. → See details

Mesquite ISD Hiring Event — Thursday, October 22

10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. | Garland Workforce Center, 530 Clara Barton Blvd., Suite 270, Garland, TX 75042

This event has passed.

Mesquite ISD, the public school district just east of Dallas, is sending recruiters to the Garland center for a three-hour window. The listing does not name positions, headcounts or pay, so look over the district's current openings before you go and walk in knowing which jobs to ask about. Bring printed copies of your resume and dress professionally; no registration is mentioned. The listing is on the Mesquite ISD hiring event page. → See details

Macy's and Bluemercury Holiday Hiring Day — Thursday, October 22

Times vary by store | Macy's and Bluemercury stores across the Dallas area

This event has passed.

Same Thursday, a very different kind of job. Macy's, Inc. is holding the second of its three national holiday hiring days, and Dallas-area Macy's and Bluemercury stores will take applicants for seasonal store jobs. Macy's named Dallas one of its markets with greater hiring opportunities for Bluemercury, its beauty and skincare chain; Dallas Macy's stores are hiring as part of the nationwide push. No headcount has been announced. Event times vary by location, so call your store before you go, and apply online at macysJOBS or bluemercuryJOBS first. If the 22nd doesn't work, the last hiring day is Thursday, November 19. → See details

Dallas Career Fair, Arlington — Thursday, October 29

11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. | DoubleTree by Hilton Arlington DFW South, 1507 N. Watson Road, Arlington, TX 76006

This event has passed.

Choice Career Fairs branded this one as its Dallas fair, but it sat in Arlington on the Watson Road frontage of Highway 360, which made it the easiest of these job fairs for anyone in Grand Prairie, Irving, Euless or the mid-cities. Admission was free for job seekers, and the format was classic face-to-face recruiting with employers from across the region. The organizer's page is on Choice Career Fairs.

Hiring Red, White & You! Job Fair — Wednesday, November 4

10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. | Gilley's Dallas, 1135 Botham Jean Blvd., Dallas, TX 75215

This event has passed.

Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas hosts the city's stop on the Texas Workforce Commission's statewide Hiring Red, White & You! series in the Cedars, just south of downtown. It is built around veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses, but the organizer says it is open to all job seekers. The organizer has now posted its full employer list on its event page, and it runs well past 100 names: the City of Dallas (Dallas Water Utilities), Dallas County, DART, Dallas Love Field, Parkland Health, Children's Health, Texas DPS, TSA, Bell Flight, Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages, FedEx, Sprouts Farmers Market, Wells Fargo and the U.S. Army among them, with more to be announced. No job count has been published. Register first through the job seeker registration form, and bring a DD-214 if you have one. Cost and parking have not been published. → See details

Chick-fil-A Hiring Event — Thursday, November 12

10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. | Redbird Workforce Center, 3560 W. Camp Wisdom Road, Suite 110, Dallas, TX 75237

This event has passed.

Chick-fil-A recruiters come to the Redbird center on Camp Wisdom to hire for several restaurant locations, and they interview on the spot. The listing names front and back of house team members, front and back of house shift managers and a director of operations. They mainly want full-time people with open availability, though some part-time spots may open up. You must be at least 18, and 21 and older is preferred. Register at WorkInTexas.com first and dress for an interview. → See details

Dallas Job Fair, Market Center — Thursday, November 12

11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. | DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Dallas Market Center, 2015 Market Center Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75207

This event has passed.

Best Hire Career Fairs returns to the Market Center DoubleTree, just off Stemmons Freeway near the Design District, for its last Dallas stop of 2026. It is free for job seekers, registration is required, and the organizer says you can arrive up to 30 minutes early. Give yourself time to park and check in. Best Hire has now posted the employers for this fair, a mix of finance, health care, home improvement, staffing, automotive and military recruiters: OneDigital, Sun West Mortgage Company, Fortrea, Renewal by Andersen, Vandergriff Honda, Pilot Flying J and the U.S. Navy among them, plus several staffing firms. The organizer notes the lineup can vary, so bring resumes for more than one kind of job. Register through Best Hire Career Fairs.

Opportunity Center Job Fair — Wednesday, November 18

10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. | The Opportunity Center, 1610 S. Malcolm X Blvd., Dallas, TX 75226

The health care room of the season. Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas lists four employers: White Rock Medical, hiring a phone operator, food and nutrition utility workers, a cook, patient access representatives and ER night shift registered nurses; Aramark, for environmental services and patient service floaters; Harmonia Health Care, for an administrative assistant, community health worker, phlebotomist and medical assistant; and Mid-Cities Medical Delivery, for a patient relations coordinator and an oxygen technician who also drives. The listing does not say which building on the campus the fair is in, so look for the Opportunity Workforce Center signs or ask at the front desk. → See details

Hiring Red, White & You! Job Fair, Allen — Thursday, November 19

10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. | Marriott Dallas Allen Hotel & Convention Center, 777 Watters Creek Blvd., Allen, TX 75013

If you missed Gilley's, the same statewide series has a second North Texas stop in Collin County, beside Watters Creek off US-75. Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas runs this one, and it is free and open to veterans, service members, military spouses and the general public. The Allen employer list is still empty and no job count has been announced, so register, bring a stack of resumes and check the organizer's event page again in the days before the fair. It runs the same day as the AT&T Stadium fair below, so Collin County job seekers have the shorter drive here. → See details

Midway Hiring Event — Thursday, November 19

10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. | Pleasant Grove Workforce Center, 1125 South Buckner Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75217

The one event on this list that prints its pay. Midway is recruiting for jobs in Mesquite, Garland, McKinney and Plano, and the listing posts $20 an hour for electrical wiring techs, $19 for mechanical assemblers, $18 for weld cell operators, $16 for welders and $14 for QA techs and cycle counters. A background check and drug test are required. Think about the commute before you go, since the jobs are not in Pleasant Grove itself. → See details

DAV RecruitMilitary Dallas Veterans Job Fair — Thursday, November 19

11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. | AT&T Stadium, AT&T Endzone West, One AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011

RecruitMilitary and DAV bring their Dallas veterans fair to the Endzone West at AT&T Stadium, and the exhibitor list already covers defense, public safety, federal agencies, transit, health care and finance: Lockheed Martin, DART, the Dallas Police Department, UT Southwestern, USAA and the U.S. Postal Service among them. The organizer says the list is not final until the day of the event. This one is not open to everyone: it is free for U.S. veterans, military spouses, transitioning military, and Guard and Reserve members. Parking is free in Lots 6 and 7, off Cowboys Way, and you come in through Entry G. A food drive at the stadium the same day may slow traffic, so the organizer suggests avoiding Randol Mill Road and leaving extra time. Complete your profile on the RecruitMilitary event page before you go, since employers scan a QR code to pull it up. → See details

⚠️ Read This Before You Go

  • Employer lists can still change. RecruitMilitary says its November 19 list can change up to the day, the Allen list for November 19 is still empty, and nobody has announced headcounts. Go ready to talk about what you do, not to chase one specific company.
  • Different event, different day, different organizer. Register for each one separately. Signing up for one does not get you into another.

🔎 How to Pick the Right Ones

  • Living in Arlington, Grand Prairie or the mid-cities: the October 29 Arlington fair has passed. Veterans and military spouses have AT&T Stadium on November 19, and everyone else can head to Allen the same day or the Opportunity Center on November 18.
  • Collin County, Plano, McKinney and Frisco job seekers: the Hiring Red, White & You! fair in Allen on November 19. It is free and open to the general public, not just veterans.
  • Veterans, Guard and Reserve aiming at defense, police or federal work: the RecruitMilitary fair at AT&T Stadium on November 19, with Lockheed Martin, the Dallas Police Department and the U.S. Postal Service registered.
  • Restaurant and food service: the November 12 Chick-fil-A hiring event has passed. White Rock Medical is hiring a cook and food and nutrition workers at the Opportunity Center on November 18.
  • Nurses, medical assistants, phlebotomists and hospital support staff: the Opportunity Center job fair on November 18.
  • Manufacturing, assembly and welding: the Midway hiring event in Pleasant Grove on November 19, the only one with posted pay.
  • Hourly, retail, automotive or logistics work: the November 12 Market Center fair has passed. The Allen fair on November 19 is open to everyone, so bring resumes there.
  • Need a job before the holidays: Hit every one that fits. Four events are still ahead between now and the week before Thanksgiving.

What to Bring to Any of Them

  • Twelve or more printed resumes. It is a good rule at every fair.
  • A 30-second answer to "tell me about yourself."
  • Interview clothes. Every organizer here asks you to dress professionally or come interview ready.
  • A charged phone, since some recruiters hand out QR codes instead of paper applications.
  • Your registration confirmation for each fair you signed up for.

🔎 Where to Aim This Fall in Dallas

Job fairs are a shortcut, not the whole plan. Dallas keeps hiring steadily in health care, logistics along the I-35E and I-20 corridors, airline and airport work around DFW and Love Field, financial services, and retail as the holidays get closer. Those postings don't wait for a job fair.
