Those looking for a new job or wanting to sharpen their professional appearance may find help at the upcoming Jefferson County Job Fair.
The fair will be held from 3-6 p.m. Wednesday, May 31, at the Fox C-6 Service Center, 849 Jeffco Blvd., in Arnold.
Representatives from a variety of businesses will be on hand to talk with prospective employees and take resumes. In addition to meeting with companies looking to hire, attendees may get help in other employment-related areas.
Jefferson College’s Workforce and Employment Services will have representatives on hand to offer job seekers advice for updating their resumes.
They also will bring along clothing from the college’s Career Closet that job seekers may get for free.
Once your new outfit is complete, a professional photographer will be at the event to take free headshots.
The Jefferson County Library also will have representatives at the fair to provide job seekers resources for continuing their search.
The library also holds resume building classes, and the Arnold Branch will hold a resume and cover letter builder class on May 17.
Employers may still reserve a booth at the fair, but the deadline to sign up is May 17.
Employers who want to participate should contact their Leader newspaper sales representative or call the Leader office at 636-931-7560.
