Looking for employment? The Mon Valley Job Fair is the place to be!

Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Bronze Level Sponsor of 2014 Mon Valley Job Fair, conducts interviews for their management training program.

This annual event has been bringing employers and jobseekers together for the past fifteen years. Last year’s job fair connected 50 employers with 300 job candidates. If you are seeking employment, mark your calendar to attend the 2015 Mon Valley Job Fair being held on Thursday, October 1, at the Willow Room on Route 51 in Belle Vernon, PA, from noon – 4 p.m.

Success starts here! To prepare for a successful job fair experience, Community Action Southwest has partnered with Southwest Training Services to offer a free workshop on September 23 at 10 a.m. ‘Making a Job Fair Work for You’ will help individuals maximize their potential when speaking with employers and will provide keys to success that will strategically place attendees above others at job and career fairs.

To sharpen your Interviewing skills, attend ‘Successful Interviewing’ on September 3 and 24 at 10 a.m. by Washington Greene Job Training Agency. In addition, if you need assistance writing a professional looking resume, a resume workshop is being provided by the Pittsburgh Technical Institute, also on September 3 and 24 at 1 p.m. Join us for one of these free sessions or stay for both! A professional resume service will also be available, by appointment, on September 28. To register for workshops, call PA CareerLink Mon Valley at 724-379-4750.

Need transportation to the job fair? No problem . . . a free shuttle service is provided, compliments of Mid Mon Valley Transit. Riders simply need to board a transit bus anywhere in the Mon Valley and inform the driver they wish to go to the Mon Valley Job Fair. You can also board the shuttle at the PA CareerLink® office at 570 Galiffa Drive in Donora. Bring resumes, dress appropriately, and be prepared to interview. No admission fee for job seekers.
