Cleveland Job Fair could Help Employment
ningcontentIf you’re looking for employment in the Cleveland area, you should know there is a job fair coming soon.
There will be a job fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 1 at the Polaris Career Center. Those planning to attend should register online at the Employment and Family Services Web site before going to the job fair, according to an article by WKYC.
A free resume writing workshop also will be offered from 1 to 3 p.m. or 6 to 8 p.m. March 25. Attendees must register for the workshop by March 20 by calling Chris Anderson at (440) 891-7607.
A job fair was previously held in Independence, which brought out thousands of people looking for work. However, several people were turned away because of the large volume of attendees.
With any luck, the upcoming job fair will help some of the many people looking for a job in Cleveland. The Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor area’s unemployment rate increased from 7.1 percent to 7.6 percent during January.
The area had a total non-farm employment of 1,005,800 workers during January, according to the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is down from 1,042,000 during December 2008 and a 4.2 percent decrease from last year.
