Employers from throughout the region will be on hand Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Communiversity to accept applications and interview job seekers during the 2024 East Mississippi Job Fair.
The Mississippi Department of Employment Security is hosting the event, along with the Governor’s Job Fair Network of Mississippi.
“The goal of the Mississippi Department of Employment Security is to help Mississippians find jobs,” Goverrnor’s Job Fair Network Director Adam Todd said. “The Governor’s Job Fair Network is an excellent tool to help connect the dots for local business/industry with the excellent talent pool the Golden Triangle has to offer. Simply put, we create the environment that facilitates the hiring process. Here you will be able to meet and chat with those individuals who take part in the hiring process. All you need to bring with you is a smile, multiple copies of your resume and an open mind. You may find a potential job you never considered before. We thank (EMCC WIOA Career Services Director) Greta Miller and East Mississippi Community College for asking us to come to the Communiversity.”
The job fair is free and open to the public. There is no cost to job seekers who wish to attend. Employers can register online at www.jobfairs.ms.gov to reserve a table. Job seekers can also register on the website, which includes tips on navigating job interviews and writing a resume, among other things.
A list of companies participating in the job fair is posted on the www.jobfairs.ms.gov website.
The event is taking place in in conjunction with EMCC WIOA Career Services’ “Employer in the Foyer.”
“This is a great opportunity for job seekers to meet with employers across a wide range of industries,” Miller said. “We will have employers from throughout our area and a few from out of state. This is our largest job fair of the year.”
Some employers will be looking to fill open positions now, while others will be accepting applications for future positions.
