One-Stop Announces 2nd Annual Nevada Day Super Hiring Event on October 29, 2014
Qualified Candidates to be Interviewed On-Site for Hundreds of Available Jobs
Workforce Connections’ One-Stop Career Center will hold its second annual Nevada Day Super Hiring Event on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the One-Stop Career Center located at 6330 W. Charleston Blvd., Suite 190 (Charleston & Torrey Pines).
More than two dozen employers with hundreds of open positions will be interviewing potential hires on-site during the event. Like all job placement and training services offered at the One-Stop Career Center, there is no cost to the job seeker or employer.
“Our mission is to provide Southern Nevadans the resources they need to become gainfully employed and connect them to a ready workforce,” said Ardell Galbreth, Workforce Connections Executive Director. “We believe Nevada is a great place to live and work.”
Based on last year’s attendance, more than 750 job seekers are expected to attend the Nevada Day Super Hiring Event and are encouraged to bring several resumes and dress professionally.
Due to the popularity of the hiring event and to ensure employers are face-to-face with qualified candidates, all applicants will be pre-screened prior to seeing an employer.
Walk-ins are welcome the day of the event. However, to expedite the pre-screening process and minimize wait time, job seekers are strongly encouraged to apply for open job positions starting TODAY at www.nvcareercenter.org.
Job seekers who meet the minimum qualifications will be invited to attend one of the pre-screening interview sessions held at 9 a.m. every Thursday in October leading up to the event – October 2, October 9, October 16 and October 23.
Qualified candidates will then be scheduled for an in-person interview on October 29, 2014. Job seekers who have been unemployed for six months or longer and have exhausted their unemployment benefits may be eligible for additional paid on-the-job training opportunities.
