According to the agency, the online event will give participants an opportunity to explore careers within CBP and connect directly with current employees and recruiters, who will share insights into their roles, responsibilities and professional experiences.
Throughout the event, attendees will be able to ask questions in real time through live chat features at virtual booths dedicated to specific positions, providing detailed information about job openings, qualifications and the hiring process.
CBP said it is seeking to fill thousands of positions across multiple levels, including air interdiction agent, Border Patrol agent, criminal investigator, Customs and Border Protection officer, and maritime interdiction agent.
Officials noted that interested applicants must register online and complete their enrollment by March 27 in order to participate. While the virtual lobby will open early, access to the event will be limited to fully registered participants.
