Job seekers of all ages are invited! From entry level to the most skilled and experienced job seeker- this is a hiring event not to miss! High school seniors could also benefit from attending, because several employers will be seeking to fill additional full time positions coming available this summer! Job seekers are encouraged to bring several copies of their resumes and dress as they would for a job interview!
