⚡ On-Site Interviews: Walk In, Walk Out with a Next Step

This is not a passive networking event — Wichita workforce fairs hosted through KANSASWORKS are structured for real hiring conversations. Bombardier has specifically listed on-site interviews as part of its Wichita recruiting activity, and multi-employer events at the Workforce Center are designed so that recruiters come prepared to screen and advance candidates the same day. That means showing up polished and ready to talk specifics about your experience puts you ahead of applicants who only submit online. Government agencies including the City of Wichita and Sedgwick County have historically accepted applications on the spot at similar events, allowing candidates to get into the queue for civil service openings immediately rather than waiting weeks for online portals to open.
