Two Fairs, One Morning: Pick the Closer One

Hiring Red, White & You is the statewide veterans hiring push Texas workforce boards run each November around Veterans Day. Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area hosts it in Williamson County to the north and Hays County to the south. The San Marcos fair is put on with the City of San Marcos and the Texas Veterans Commission.

Both run the same schedule, so pick one. If you live in Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Hutto or Cedar Park, the Sports Center on Chisholm Trail Road is your stop. If you are in Kyle, Buda, San Marcos or New Braunfels, head to Hopkins Street instead.

Neither organizer has published an employer roster. The Round Rock listing describes local employers and veteran-friendly organizations, and the San Marcos listing carries the same statewide description. Do not count on any one company being in the room.

⚠️ Read This Before You Go: The 11 O'Clock Line

The first two hours belong to veterans, transitioning service members, military spouses and their families. If you qualify, use it: recruiters are fresh and lines are short.

Everyone else should plan to arrive at or after 11:00 a.m. Two hours is enough for a focused lap, so know which tables matter most to you.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

Register in advance. The organizer encourages it. Use the Round Rock job seeker registration or the San Marcos job seeker registration.
Bring several printed copies of your resume. The San Marcos listing asks for them specifically.
Translate your military experience. Swap MOS shorthand for team size led, equipment maintained and certifications held.
Bring your DD-214 or a copy of your transition paperwork if you want to be ready for veteran-preference questions on the spot.

Can't Make Tuesday?

Austin proper held its own Hiring Red, White & You fair on Thursday, November 5, run by a different workforce board, Workforce Solutions Capital Area, and that one has passed. For other upcoming hiring events around the metro, see our fall 2026 Austin job fairs guide.

San Marcos also hosts a monthly South Area Job Fair at the San Marcos Public Library, 625 E. Hopkins St., on the third Wednesday of each month. The next one is Wednesday, November 18, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.. It is open to all job seekers, per the organizer's calendar.
