Careers & Coffee 2026 runs Thursday, Oct. 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Brownsville Events Center on Paredes Line Road (FM 1847). Entry is free, and the organizer's page says registration is required.

The listing, posted by the Greater Brownsville EDC, promises more than 10,000 job opportunities, résumé help, time with employers, and a free professional headshot. It's pitched to people with years of experience and people just starting out. And yes, the page promises plenty of coffee.

This year's list of employers is not posted on the page yet, so check the registration page again before you go. Parking details and what to bring are not listed either.

Quick tip

Bring a few printed copies of your résumé and a pen, even if you applied online. A recruiter who meets you in person can put your paper on the right desk that afternoon.

If you know someone who's job hunting, forward this to them.
