Please review your invitation carefully and plan to arrive at the time specified. Not all attendees will have a scheduled interview, and that is perfectly fine. Meet and greet sessions are an opportunity to connect directly with hiring managers, learn about open positions, and make a strong impression.
What to Expect
When you arrive, you will have the opportunity to meet directly with hiring managers and human resources professionals from multiple federal organizations. Interviews will take place on site. Candidates who are the right fit may receive a job offer before they leave.
What to Bring
Bring two printed copies of your resume. Resumes must not exceed two pages. Bring a printed or digital copy of your invitation. Professional attire is recommended.
Come ready to talk about your experience and your goals. If you have relevant certifications, licenses, or letters of recommendation, bring those as well.

Paid parking is available at the Hilton Mark Center. Additional transit options including Metro bus connections to the Mark Center are available. Visit markcenter.com/resources/transit for details.
A Few Important Notes
Some positions require an active security clearance. Candidates without a clearance are still encouraged to attend as many positions do not require one. All positions are full-time federal government roles with competitive pay, federal benefits, and long-term career growth within the Department of Defense.
