Job Fair Events
There are two types of career fairs – internal and external.
External career fairs are usually sponsored by local universities, newspapers/media sources or vocational schools. Ask these sources to notify you of upcoming events.
Internal career fairs are held within the residence and provide opportunities for candidates to see senior living firsthand. These can be free. Both external and internal fairs should showcase what positions are currently available and how senior living can be a fulfilling career path.

Career Wallet CardsHave you ever received extraordinary service by someone at a restaurant, hotel, bank or retailer? Afterward, did you think, “I wish they could work for Legend Senior Living. They’d be awesome!” When you experience great customer service or believe someone may be a good fit for senior living, you can use that opportunity to introduce the individual to Legend Senior Living and the idea of working in senior care. If each department manager gave away 1 card per day, think of how many opportunities for introduction Legend could have! Here are some suggestions:
“You seem to really enjoy engaging with customers. That is one of the characteristics that is valuable when working with seniors. That’s what I do for a living. Could I tell you more about how your skills can translate into working with us? This is my phone number. Come in anytime and we can talk more about it."

Job Fair Success Stories
"I first met Matt during an external career fair. Matt knew we would have a booth and was interested in finding out more about The Windsor. My first impression of Matt was very positive. He asserted himself in a professional manner and was honest and candid. He came from a retail background, but had been thinking about making a change and had a passion for taking care of the elderly. Shortly after the job fair I offered him a Resident Assistant. Since Matt has joined The Windsor, he has completed his C.N.A. certification, and is currently enrolled in Florida State College, pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Services. He also plans to take a Certified Dementia Practitioner course offered through Legend. Matt loves the residents and this is demonstrated through his sincere passion and commitment to the memory care residents he serves. Hiring Matt has proven that participating in the external career fair is certainly worthwhile." -- Residence Director, Florida
