America Hires Jobs Fair 11/22

If you or someone you know is looking for work, I want to let you know about The Hire America Jobs Fair on Tuesday the 22nd at ShoWare Center at 625 West James St, in Kent, from 10 to 3.

Congressman Dave Reichert (R-08) and Adam Smith (D-09) are hosting this bipartisan Jobs Fair. They have heard and understand the common request of local business leaders and job seekers alike: create an environment for economic growth and work across party lines to create jobs. Bringing local businesses and individual constituents together in one place is a great way to increase employment, improve the local economy, and gather feedback on how families are coping during these difficult economic times.

Be prepared to meet directly with employers. Have plenty of resumes! Over 50 employers will be there who are hiring in wide variety of fields and levels. Job Fairs provide the opportunity to connect face-to-face with recruiters who make hiring decisions and can help you network for other positions within a company.
