Local workforce development organization Mesquite Works will be holding its first Job Fair of 2018 on Wednesday, February 21 from 9 am to 1 pm at the Rising Star Sports Ranch in the Grand Ballroom at 333 N. Sandhill Blvd. in Mesquite.
At this event job applicants will be able to introduce themselves to area’s employers, present a resume, discuss job openings and even arrange for an interview.
The last Mesquite Works Job Fair, held in November, hosted 162 people wanting to work locally. There were several people hired on the spot right at the event.
“Come and see who’s hiring and might be looking for you,” said Job Fair coordinator Linda Rino. “Bring your updated resume and dress for success, and you’ll have the chance to sell yourself, and tell employers why you’re the one they’re looking for. Or, just come and see who’s there.”
As a non-profit organization, Mesquite Works provides free services geared toward helping people improve their ability to find good work. There are free single-session classes offered by Mesquite Works including Interviewing Skills, Resume Building, Appropriate Work Attire and General Business Preparation. For older people returning to work, these classes review and sharpen money-making skills.
For young job seekers, the classes provide new ideas and helpful ways to succeed in real life situations which can be the start of a profitable career.
