Hey guys, here is the latest list of employers scheduled to attend our Job Expo at the Basketball Hall of Fame on January 30th.  Keep checking back for updates!

Job Expo Companies Attending

If you are looking for work you need to get ready for the Springfield Stimulus Job Expo.  The hiring event will feature local employers who are looking to fill positions.  It takes place Monday, January 30 from 4:00-7:00 PM in Center Court at the Basketball Hall of Fame.

A list of employers scheduled to attend will be posted here as we get closer to the event.  If you have questions about your resume, how to dress for, or how to approach employers you can meet with our YouthWorks staff to help you make the most of the Job Expo

The number one mistake job seekers make is not doing what they are told when applying for a job.  Every job opening has ‘How To Apply’ instructions.

It is a bigger problem than you might think.  We featured this in a recent issue of our InTouch e-newletter.  If you missed it, here it is.
