An upcoming hiring event

Circle it: the Virginia Beach Virtual Job Fair runs Tuesday, July 7 at 11 a.m., so you can interview online with Hampton Roads employers from home. Free to join, no commute.

Summer at the Oceanfront

The seasonal rush is on. Oceanfront hotels and restaurants, from the Cavalier to Gold Key PHR, are hiring seasonal and full-time staff as summer crowds arrive.

Defense and maritime anchor the economy

The steady backbone keeps the openings coming. Naval Air Station Oceana, Little Creek, and a growing roster of contractors make the city a hub for military, maritime, and cyber jobs, with strong opportunities for veterans.

Healthcare with big bonuses

On the healthcare side, Sentara is hiring nurses and staff across the city with sign-on bonuses up to $15,000 and relocation help on qualifying roles.

A small-business boom

The city's broad job base keeps growing too. A wave of expansions, from roofing to distribution to defense tech, is adding hundreds of jobs in one of the nation's top small-business cities.

Working for the city

And do not overlook one of the steadiest employers around: the City of Virginia Beach hires year-round across public safety, parks, utilities, and office roles, with strong benefits and a pension.
