Evening Job Fair Set In Bensalem
Organizers say they chose the evening hours because job seekers said they couldn't attend past events because they work during the day.
BENSALEM, PA — A job fair in Bensalem this month will be held in the evening hours — a move organizers hope will help people who may already have a job attend.
Bucks County Career Night, sponsored by RecruitmentQueen, will be held in the Macy's court at Neshaminy Mall on March 22 from 5-8 p.m. Founder and CEO Jennifer Schultz said the fair was scheduled that way after she heard from job seekers saying they couldn't attend previous events because they work during the day.
In addition to potential employers, a professional photographer will be on hand offering free head shot photos that can be used for things like a LinkedIn profile.
