Adam Cortez has worked for years in hospitality and is trying to switch into a new industry. He has a job, but after sending out 200-plus applications in the past three years and getting only a few calls on them, he took a day off to attend a massive job fair at the Las Vegas Convention Center on Friday.
The 35-year-old southwest valley resident figured he would improve his chances of landing a new job by meeting recruiters and hiring managers in-person.
“Hopefully that will change something,” he said.
Clark County and EmployNV, a state-affiliated workforce system, hosted the 2026 Spring Job Fair in the Convention Center’s West Hall, saying the gathering is Nevada’s largest and longest-running free job fair.
