Anne Arundel Jobs: One Local Hiring Event, Five Career Paths

September 28, 2026 by Admin

Sometimes the hardest part of a job search is simply getting in front of the right person.

For anyone searching for Anne Arundel jobs, an upcoming local event could make that easier.

The Anne Arundel Workforce Development Corporation (AAWDC) will host its Fall Hiring Event and Resource Fair on Tuesday, October 6, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Anne Arundel County Career Center, 613 Global Way in Linthicum Heights.

Five Industries, One Stop

AAWDC says participating businesses will represent five high-demand areas:

Healthcare
Hospitality
Information technology
Transportation
Skilled trades

The fair will also include community resources designed to support people during their career search.

The names of participating employers, specific openings, pay ranges, and whether offers will be made onsite have not yet been publicly listed. Still, last year’s event gives job seekers a reason to pay attention.

AAWDC reports that its 2025 Fall Hiring Event attracted 198 job seekers and 16 businesses. Attendees could explore career paths, meet employers, and participate in on-the-spot interviews. One participating company hired four candidates directly from the event.

How to Make the Most of It

Do not treat a hiring fair like a casual walk-through.

Bring several copies of your résumé. Prepare a short introduction explaining what you do well and what kind of opportunity you are seeking. Then look beyond job titles.

Experience in customer service, scheduling, logistics, technology, maintenance, supervision, or problem-solving may transfer into an industry you have never considered.

And ask questions. What skills are hardest for the employer to find? Is training available? What does advancement look like? Those answers may tell you more than the job title alone.

The Career Center itself also offers résumé assistance, interview preparation, career exploration, and referrals to training programs for local job seekers.

And yes, this is where we remind you that you do not have to wait until October 6. Check Annapolis Moms Media Job Connect for current Anne Arundel jobs, and subscribe to the Job Connect newsletter so new local opportunities come to you.
