North Carolina Employment Guide has Good Turnout

North Carolina Employment Guide had a great turnout at their most recent job fair, held in Greensboro. The event was hosted at the Clairon Greensboro and about 1,200 jobseekers were in attendance.  More than 50 companies were at the job fair looking to fill hundreds of positions within the Triad region.  The fact that so many companies came to the job fair to recruit local talent may be a good sign for the unemployed citizens in the Triad area.

Joe Fagan, manager of Triad Employment Guide, was also optimistic about the turnout of the job fair when he talked to News 14 Carolina: “What's great about what we're seeing is that not only are these companies coming out and hiring before the economy has fully recovered, but… also they're expecting it to recover, –they're expecting more business to come in. They're hiring more sales people, they're hiring different departments.”

Triad Employment Guide has one more Job Fair in Winston Salem. If you are a recruiter and would like for your company to be involved in the next job fair contact Joe Fagan at 888-512-0927 or email at  joe.fagan@employmentguide.com

One down-Greensboro Job Fair, February 9….more to come! So, don’t worry if you missed out on the first job fair of the year in the Carolinas. The next, Hire Commitment 2010, job fair for the Carolinas is coming up quick, February 23rd. If you have not already registered for this event, please do so. We need your help to make this event as successful as the previous.

The February 9, 2010, Greensboro Job Fair, had a good outcome with 600-700 jobseekers. People didn’t just show up and turn running out the door when all they saw were schools, because that was not the case. Schools and Employers, both, were there with positions available from hourly wages to mid level positions, and conducting on-site interviews. Jobseekers left happy with a smile on their faces, being they were hired on the spot or set-up for a second interview.

Now this is the kind of event we all want to have…employers and jobseekers leaving happy.

Be prepared for the next event, February 23rd, at ITT Technical Institute-North Campus, 10926 David Taylor Drive, Suite 100, Charlotte, NC 28262.
