Job fairs are a wonderful opportunity for job seekers to explore career opportunities and for employers to meet and hire qualified workers, said State Labor Commissioner James J. McGowan. Hosting job fairs is just one way the Department of Labor can help businesses find workers and help people find jobs. Job seekers are invited to bring their resumes and speak to local employers about hundreds of available career opportunities. Employers will be recruiting for positions such as accountants, customer service representatives, food service workers, machine operators, sales specialists, engineers, executive secretaries, assistant managers, bank tellers, social workers, graphic designers, web-site developers, and teachers. Employers representing various industries including banking, health care, manufacturing, retail, construction, human services, distribution, travel and tourism, and government will be present.
