Fuschillo to Hold Job Resource Expo

State Sen. Charles J. Fuschillo Jr., R-Merrick, has announced that he will be holding a Job Resource Expo to help individuals looking for jobs better prepare themselves to find employment. The 2011 Job Resource Expo will be held on Friday, March 18, from 10 a.m. to 1  p.m. at the Freeport Recreation Center, which is located at 130 East Merrick Road in Freeport.

“Residents need to give themselves the best chance to succeed in the job market at a time when over 100,000 Long Islanders are unemployed and competition for jobs is extremely high," Fuschillo said. "Offering services such as resume review, along with providing information about different job training, educational, and social service programs, will help better prepare individuals to get the job they want."

Fuschillo’s job resource expo will help individuals who are looking for jobs learn some of the tools that will help improve their chances of gaining employment. Those in attendance will be able to have their resumes reviewed, learn interviewing skills and job searching tips, and speak with career counselors.

Additionally, information will be offered about:

• Job training programs
• Upcoming civil service exams
• Higher Education
• Social service assistance programs
• Vocational & Educational Services for individuals with disabilities
• Starting a small business
