🔥 Who They're Recruiting

This is a sales and management fair, and the organizer is upfront about the target list: outside sales, inside sales, account managers, account executives, business development and sales development reps, branch and sales managers, plus retail sales, retail management and customer service roles.

The organizer has not published which companies will be in the room, how many openings they carry, or what they pay. Sales compensation also swings widely by employer, from salary-heavy account management roles to commission-heavy territory jobs. Treat the evening as a chance to ask those questions face to face: what's base, what's commission, what's the ramp, and what does a first-year rep really take home.

The good news for career changers is written right on the listing. People without a formal sales background are welcome. Servers, bartenders, retail associates and call-center reps who can hold a conversation and handle a no are exactly who many sales managers want to meet.

📋 How the Evening Works

Unlike a sprawling convention-hall fair, this one is built small. It opens with a short presentation from each hiring manager, so you hear every company's pitch before deciding whose table to visit. After that, it's open networking, and strong conversations can turn into a second interview.

Bring at least 15 printed copies of your resume. That's the organizer's number, not ours.
Dress for a professional interview.
Arrive a few minutes early. The organizer recommends around 5:45 p.m. so you don't walk in mid-presentation.
Pre-register online so employers can see your resume ahead of time.

The hotel sits on Killebrew Drive just north of Mall of America, near the I-494 and Cedar Avenue interchange, a short hop from the METRO Blue Line's Mall of America station. Questions for the organizer go to United Career Fairs at 847-428-1118.
