Multi-Industry Job Fair: October 13, 2021

If you’re looking for work or want to advance your career into a new field or position, the Fall Job Fair is an event you don’t want to miss!

Here are the top reasons to attend:

1. Networking opportunities in one place - A professional network is critical for finding a good job. It also opens up other opportunities that may not be obvious immediately. While you can build a network through online sources, meeting someone face-to-face builds a stronger connection, are quicker more effective, and provide a venue to highlight communication skills. Why drive all over town to apply with more than one potential employer when you can apply to dozens in one day?

2. Stand out and be noticed – When you submit an application or resume online, you’re just another document amongst hundreds. Yet, when you meet face-to-face with hiring managers, not only do you have a chance to make a lasting impression but you will have the employer's name and contact information to follow-up with.

3. Free LinkedIn headshots – A picture is worth a thousand words, so the saying goes. According to LinkedIn, your picture is viewed fourteen times more by recruiters and others. Stop by the LinkedIn booth and have your picture taken for FREE by a professional photographer for that final touch to your profile!

4. Connect with community resources – Not sure how to introduce yourself to an employer at the job fair or need some tips? Maybe you want that extra credential, help on what to highlight on your resume, are a Veteran, or connections to additional resources. We will be joined by representatives from Forward Careers, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Office for Veterans, Waukesha County Technical College, and the Workforce Development Center. Stop by any one of our community resource tables for assistance and be one step closer to landing a job that meets your needs.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with hiring managers from various industries.
