Career Fair

The HFES Career Fair at the International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care taking place in Orlando, FL will provide a forum for employers to find talent and for job seekers to discover potential roles for the next phase in their careers. The Career Fair can help facilitate connections and provides helpful career-related information and resources to both employers and job seekers.  

​

At each HFES International Symposium, the Career Fair provides an outstanding opportunity for employers and job seekers to either meet informally and/or in prearranged interviews. The Career Fair offers access to a large network of highly qualified HF/E professionals. More than 40% of HFES members hold a doctorate, 33% hold a master's degree, and about 15% hold a bachelor's degree.
