BUSINESSES from across the career spectrum will be on hand to offer advice to job hunters at the Dorset Echo 2016 Jobs Fair.
Back by popular demand, job seekers are invited to take part in the event held in the Ocean Room at the Weymouth Pavilion on Wednesday, February 24 from 10am to 4pm.
The event is sponsored by Encompass.
The popular event saw hundreds of eager job seekers filing through the doors in previous years and it is hoped this year’s event will be even bigger and better.
The fair was designed to bring employers and job seekers together and serves as a networking hub.
At the jobs fair people can sign up for workshops on creating a winning CV at 10.30am or 1pm, and interview skills at 11.30am or 2.30pm.
In addition this year visitors are able to book one to one sessions with a national career advisor throughout the day.
The one to one sessions and the workshops are being provided by Best Training and any visitors interested should book their space at the Dorset Echo welcome stand on arrival.
David McArthur MBE, Greater Wessex account manager for Jobcentre Plus, urged jobseekers to come along and find out more at the jobs fair.
He said: “The Dorset Echo jobs fair gives jobseekers an excellent opportunity to talk with leading employers, agencies and training providers. The local economy and jobs market continues to go from strength to strength creating a wide range of employment and training opportunities throughout Dorset. This is the ideal forum to explore these opportunities in a face-to-face environment. Many thousands of individuals have found a new job, developed their career or updated their skills through speaking to previous exhibitors.”
And it’s not too late for businesses looking to expand their teams to snap up a stall.
Currently businesses attending range from local holiday providers and those in the forces to care teams.
