No pre-registration is required, walk-ins are fully welcome, and both admission and parking are free. Area schools and trade programs will also have tables, so job seekers exploring certification paths can gather information alongside active hiring conversations. Look into customer service roles and healthcare positions before you arrive, since those sectors typically draw strong employer representation at this event.

Career Glow Up Job Fair, June 12, 2026

The City of Tampa's Career Glow Up returns for its second edition on June 12, and if the inaugural November 2025 event is any guide, this one promises more than a standard hiring floor. The city-produced fair is designed around what organizers call instant interviews and on-the-spot hiring opportunities, wrapped in a festival atmosphere with live music and giveaways. A "Career Glow Bar" is part of the event format, featuring free professional headshots, resume coaching, and interview prep, resources that carry real value for job seekers who want more than just a handshake with a recruiter. Held at the City Center at Hanna Avenue in the Seminole Heights East neighborhood, the event is open to job seekers of all ages and experience levels at no cost. Pre-registration is encouraged, reach the organizers at CGU@tampagov.net or 813-274-7641 to confirm your spot.
