" My experience at the CFP Board Virtual Diversity Career Fair was a great way to connect with potential employers. You can easily schedule a quick video call with employers you are interested in. I walked away with multiple interviews. I ended up accepting an offer for a role that aligned with my career aspirations and joined a firm with an amazing company culture! "

Morgan Everett, CFP®, Associate Advisor, Brighton Jones

“ I had such a wonderful time at CFP Board’s Virtual Career Fair last year. I received more qualified resumes and met with more candidates than I managed to do in a month of waiting on other job postings. We ended up hiring two people we met at the fair. Kudos to CFP Board for doing this! ”
