Eight events are still ahead as of November 7, 2026, running through November 20. Here they are in order, followed by a recap of every event already held this fall.

GEICO Recruiting Event — Tuesday, November 10

9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. | Pima County One-Stop Kino Service Center, 2797 E. Ajo Way

GEICO is recruiting for customer service representatives, sales representatives, bilingual sales and service reps, and roadside customer service, with onsite interviews possible. The flyer sets four requirements up front: 18 or older, a high school diploma or GED, customer service experience, and a background check. Pay isn't listed, so check each GEICO posting before you go. It's a three-hour morning window at the Kino Service Center, not the Event Center next door, and it runs the same day as Premier In-Home Care's caregiver event on Fort Lowell.

Child-Parent Centers Head Start Job Fair — Wednesday, November 11

1:00 – 5:30 p.m. | Child-Parent Centers, 602 E. 22nd St.

A single-employer job fair at the Head Start provider's administration building south of downtown, hiring preschool lead teachers, preschool teachers, family educators, drivers and custodians. Bring a driver's license, a resume and proof of education; the teaching jobs carry Head Start's degree requirements.

Conserva Irrigation Recruiting Event — Thursday, November 12

8:30 – 11:30 a.m. | Pima County One-Stop Kino Service Center, 2797 E. Ajo Way

Conserva Irrigation's Tucson franchise is hiring Junior Irrigation Technicians at $18 to $20 an hour, based on experience. Irrigation or landscaping experience is preferred, not required, but a valid driver's license and reliable transportation are musts, because the work happens at homes and businesses across the metro. It's outdoor, hands-on work in every season. Same Kino Service Center building as GEICO two days earlier; questions go to the One-Stop at 520-724-7700.

SER Career Fair at Royal — Friday, November 13

Starts 5:30 p.m. | Royal Buick GMC Cadillac, 815 W. Auto Mall Drive (Tucson Auto Mall)

SER-Jobs for Progress of Southern Arizona holds its 7th annual career fair at Royal Automotive Group's Buick GMC Cadillac store, with auto and diesel technicians, body shop and collision techs, parts and warranty associates, vehicle sales reps, maintenance techs, cashiers and parts drivers on the list. The evening start makes it easy to reach after a day shift. No end time or pay has been posted, so call SER at (520) 623-5754 to confirm before you drive. Techs should bring copies of ASE or manufacturer certifications.

Free Sherwin-Williams Painter Training — Monday, November 16 to Friday, November 20

8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. daily | Pima County Northwest Service Center, 1010 W. Miracle Mile

Training, not a hiring event. Sherwin-Williams, the City of Tucson and the Pima County One-Stop are running a free week of painter training: two classroom days on Miracle Mile, two hands-on days at the MLK Apartments downtown, and the EPA's lead-paint Renovation, Repair and Painting exam. Lunch is provided and trainees keep a set of painting tools. You need some trade background and must be 18 or older, and seats go by interview: call Pima County Business Services at 520-724-3733.

PimaCare at Home Hiring Event — Monday, November 16

9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. | ARIZONA@WORK Employment Service North, 316 W. Fort Lowell Rd.

The Pima Council on Aging's home care agency is back for another round, hiring direct care workers at $16 an hour to start, with no experience needed and training provided. Register ahead through the One-Stop's online sign-up form. It's the same office as Premier In-Home Care's November 10 event, so if one date doesn't fit, the other might.

Arcadia Home Care Recruiting Event — Monday, November 16

9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. | Pima County One-Stop Kino Service Center, 2797 E. Ajo Way

Arcadia Home Care & Staffing, part of the Addus HomeCare family, is recruiting caregivers for in-home care, with onsite interviews possible for people who show up ready. The bar: you must be 18 or older and pass a criminal background check, and Arcadia's posting adds a qualifying exam. No pay rate is listed, so ask at the interview. It runs the same morning as PimaCare at Home's event on Fort Lowell, across town, so pick one or move fast. Bring a photo ID and a printed resume.

🔎 How to Pick the Right Ones

Nobody needs to attend all eight. Sort yourself quickly:

Caregivers: Premier In-Home Care on November 10 if you're new to the work ($16.50, no experience needed). PimaCare at Home on November 16 ($16, no experience needed) and Arcadia Home Care the same morning on Ajo Way, with onsite interviews, give you two more shots.
Customer service and sales: November 10 with GEICO, if you already have customer service experience.
Landscapers and anyone who wants outdoor work: November 12 with Conserva Irrigation ($18–$20 an hour, driver's license required).
Painters and remodeling or maintenance workers: the free November 16–20 painter training, if you can clear the whole week.
Preschool teachers, drivers and custodians: November 11 with Child-Parent Centers.
Mechanics, parts and car sales: November 13 at Royal, after work.

What to Bring to Any of Them

Printed resumes, more than you think you need
Photo ID
Licenses and certification numbers if you are in a credentialed field
A short self-introduction you have actually said out loud
Open availability you can state plainly
A notebook, so you can write down names and follow up within 48 hours

What It Means for Job Seekers

Fall is when Tucson does its heaviest hiring: resorts and restaurants staff up for the winter visitor season, carriers and distribution centers build peak-season crews, school districts backfill, and any business opening before the holidays finishes its team. If you are going to run a serious job search this year, the weeks between now and Thanksgiving are the ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Tucson job fairs free?

None of the events on this list lists an admission fee for job seekers. Some ask you to register ahead, like Premier In-Home Care's November 10 event and PimaCare at Home's November 16 event, and that registration is free. The Sherwin-Williams painter training is free too, but seats go by interview.

Which fall job fair has the most employers?

Most of the events still ahead are single-employer hiring days. The biggest open-to-everyone fair of the season, the Pima County One-Stop Community Job Fair, was held October 6 with up to 50 employers, and Pima County's own career fair followed on November 5.

What should I wear?

Business or business casual is the safe default everywhere on this list.

Will more events be added?

Almost certainly. ARIZONA@WORK Pima County adds hiring events to its calendar weekly, and employers announce walk-in events with only a week or two of notice. We update this guide as new dates are confirmed.

Don't Rely on Showing Up

Job fairs are one channel, not the whole search. Create a free TucsonHIRED account and set alerts so new Tucson openings reach you between events. Then browse the TucsonHIRED Career Center for role-by-role guides.

Employers: a table at a fair reaches the people who showed up that day. Post your openings on TucsonHIRED and reach Tucson job seekers every day of the season.
