WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--While posting last weekend?s pictures, commenting on your friend?s status update, or even ?liking? some of GEICO?s latest commercials, why not interact with a few GEICO recruiters through its first-ever career fair on Facebook?
?This is a great opportunity for job seekers to ask as many questions as possible about the jobs at GEICO.?
Several GEICO recruiters will be online to chat with job seekers during the company?s Facebook career fair, June 11-12, between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT.

GEICO will provide a list of all GEICO positions and offer potential new hires a look inside the company through photos and videos.
