The Columbia Job Center will host its regular Walk-In Wednesdays event on Wednesday, September 1, 2021, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., offering both employers and job seekers the opportunity to connect and do one-on-one interviews. As many employers are having difficulty finding new team members post COVID-19, the Columbia Job Center wants to provide as much assistance as possible.
Employers on-site for the event will be Advantage Home Care, Dana Incorporated, Fulton State Hospital, H&R Block, Job Finders, MaidEZ Cleaning, Mid-America Food Hub/Sue Baird Organics, Right at Home, USPS, and Watlow.
The Workforce Link Podcast offers forward thinking conversations for the workforce, linking employers and job seekers to a brighter tomorrow. Check out the details here…
Walk-In Wednesdays offers free space to connect employers and job seekers on a smaller scale. Employers receive a variety of free opportunities available to them, including a provided table, freedom to bring any company swag, computers provided for applicants to apply online, and private office space for one-on-one interviews. Employers can register today at 573.441.6361 or learn more here.
My goal is to introduce job seekers to employers so they can develop a relationship which may lead to a job. It’s a good place for networking, too.
Nichelle Pool – Columba Job Center Supervisor
For job seekers looking to find a new job or change career pathways, this is the perfect opportunity to connect without having to set up a job interview. Resumes are recommended upon arrival, but not required.
Other Walk-In Wednesday dates will be August 18 and September 9.
