U.S. Postal Service Job Fairs — Thursday, October 15

Noon – 2:00 p.m. | Baltimore Post Office, 900 E. Fayette St., Baltimore, MD 21233

The Postal Service's Maryland job fair schedule runs four Baltimore-area dates. Oct. 15 downtown covers every listed job. The rest are narrower: Friday, Oct. 16 (1:00 – 4:00 p.m., same building) and Friday, Oct. 23 (noon – 3:00 p.m., Glen Burnie Post Office, 7596 Ritchie Hwy.) are for automotive positions only, and Thursday, Oct. 29 (11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.) moves to the Columbia Post Office at 6801 Oak Hall Lane. Posted pay: $21.89 an hour for rural carrier associates, $21.21 for city carrier assistants, $19.02 for mail handler assistants and $63,658 a year for automotive technicians. The catch: there are no interviews at the fairs. You apply online at usps.com/careers, and you must be 18, or 16 with a high school diploma, and pass a drug screen and background check. → See details

CCBC All Pathways Career and Internship Fair — Tuesday, October 20

10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. | CCBC Catonsville, Jack Manley Wellness and Athletics Center, 800 South Rolling Road, Catonsville, MD 21228

This is a campus fair that doesn't shut the door on everyone else. The Community College of Baltimore County says it's open to CCBC students and the local community, and it's free for job seekers. Employers come with full-time, part-time, seasonal and internship openings across nine pathways, from health professions and criminal justice to business, education and technology and engineering. No employer roster is posted. Registration is offered through the college's event page; questions go to [email protected].

Howard Community College Fall Job and Internship Fair — Thursday, October 22

10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. | Burrill Galleria, Howard Community College, 10901 Little Patuxent Pkwy., Columbia, MD 21044

Howard Community College welcomes students, alumni and community members of every major and experience level, and no pre-registration is required. Dress professionally and bring printed resumes. Employers register through the college, so the room fills in until the week of the fair; HCC career services is at 443-518-1310 if you want a sense of who's coming. Remember the Howard County line here: our minimum wage breakdown explains why a Columbia job can carry a higher legal floor than the same job in the city.

Macy's Holiday Hiring Day — Thursday, October 22

Hours vary by store | Macy's Towson Town Center, 813 Dulaney Valley Rd., Towson · Macy's White Marsh, 8200 Perry Hall Blvd., Nottingham · Macy's Columbia, 10300 Little Patuxent Pkwy., Columbia

Macy's, Inc. runs national in-person hiring days at every store, and its holiday hiring announcement sets the next one for Oct. 22, with a final round on Thursday, Nov. 19. Store roles are part-time, and every posting lists its pay range. Baltimore isn't among the company's named top hiring markets and no local headcount has been announced, so treat this as a walk-in chance, not a guaranteed offer. Apply first at macysJOBS, then call ahead: Towson (410) 337-3600, White Marsh (410) 931-2000, Columbia (410) 997-3000. Columbia makes an easy double with the HCC fair down Little Patuxent Parkway the same morning.

MOED Holiday Season Career Fair — Friday, October 23

10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. | Middle Branch Fitness and Wellness Center, 201 Reedbird Ave., Baltimore, MD 21225

The biggest room on this list. The city's Mayor's Office of Employment Development lists 49 employers and partners for its Cherry Hill fair, a mix of health care, public safety, city departments, driving and logistics, trades and seasonal retail and food service. Two rules: you must be 18 or older, and you must register in advance by Oct. 22 through the link on MOED's event page. → See details

Sheppard Pratt Holiday Direct Care Career Fair — Monday, December 14

7:00 – 10:00 p.m. | Sheppard Pratt Conference Center, 6501 N. Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21204

The one evening event, and the one to circle if you want behavioral health work. Sheppard Pratt is recruiting direct care support staff, behavior technicians and peer support specialists on its Towson campus, with on-the-spot interviews with hiring managers. The listing doesn't spell out eligibility or a registration step, so check the page again closer to the date.
