Things to Keep in Mind & Prepare
When attending a career fair, it is best not to go totally unprepared. There are a few things to keep in mind going into professional networking events. First, it is important to bring a resume if you have one; if not, it is recommended to stop by the resume optimization booth early on. It is also recommended to wear at least business casual clothes; we will have clothes available for those in need. Moreover, be prepared to answer questions because some employers may be ready to conduct on-site interviews.
However, if you aren’t able to fully prepare on your own, there will be many coaches there to assist you. Between free help with resumes, haircuts, professional clothes, and more, this event gives you the opportunity to become a more desirable and hirable candidate.

What is 40 Tons?
40 Tons Brand is a Black woman-owned premium cannabis, clothing, and accessories brand based out of Los Angeles, California. Representing those impacted by the system — cannabis prisoners, victims of the War on Drugs, and their families and loved ones — while a booming billion dollar industry flourishes across the globe, 40 Tons was founded by the very legacy operators who’ve helped build the cannabis industry during the course of battle.
With true know how, the scars to prove it, and 40,000+ cannabis prisoners still locked-up, 40 Tons is 100% real, authentic cannabis and cannabis culture standing up for those who fought, and still fight today, the tired and traumatic war over legalization. With a mission to break the chains of these injustices stemming from prohibition, every 40 Tons purchase helps non-violent cannabis prisoners fight their unjust sentences, engage in restorative justice, and find full, equitable lives once they return home to their families.
Their goal is to bring more diversity and inclusion of BIPOC communities into the cannabis space, as well as help those with past cannabis convictions. They believe if they can bring education and opportunities to their communities, then they can help reduce the recidivism rate.
