United States Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock) announced that he will be holding a Central Valley Job Fair in Turlock facilitated by the Stanislaus Economic Development & Workforce Alliance (the Alliance) to provide an opportunity for job seekers to meet face-to-face with employers looking for new hires in the region.
“Looking for work is a difficult and often frustrating experience. We want to help make the process easier by hosting these events to provide an opportunity for job seekers to meet face-to-face with employers looking for new hires in the Valley,” said Denham. “My top priority is to ensure that Valley residents and veterans have the employment opportunities they need. This event will be free and open to veterans, active military, students, and the public.”
The Job Fair will take place on Wednesday, August 22nd, from 11am to 5pm at the Stanislaus Country Fairgrounds in Turlock. Employers will be accepting resumes and meeting with interested applicants throughout the fair. The event will be open to the public, and participants are encouraged to bring several copies of their resume and wear business attire.
Additionally, on Tuesday, August 14th, interested participants can attend a preliminary Free Workshops and Resume Clinic at the Modesto Campus of Bradman University, part of the Chapman University System. The seminar will run from 9am to 6pm, and will include a variety of workshops focusing on interview skills, resume writing and networking to better prepare individuals for interviews with potential employers.
