The Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development (DHEWD) is thinking outside of the box when it comes to matching job seekers to their next great employer.
They’ll be hosting two virtual jobs fairs on Wednesday July 22, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., and Wednesday, August 5, from 2-5 p.m., as part of the Return Strong initiative.
Though Missouri has faced record unemployment rates due to COVID-19, the Return Strong recovery plan is helping Missourians get back to work as quickly as possible.
For Employers
If you have open positions for your next great team member, we invite you to participate in the virtual job fairs. Employers may participate in one or both fairs, with a minimum of just one hour.
These virtual job fairs are more than just a place to post your open career listings. You’ll be able to meet job candidates through an online video conference, sharing information about your organization and specifics about your openings.
You can sign up for one or both virtual fairs by completing the Employer Registration form here.
The deadline to register is July 13.
These upcoming job fairs present a great opportunity not only to meet and interview interested job seekers, but also to strengthen the state’s economy and help us get Missourians back to work.
For Job Seekers
For those seeking employment, this is the perfect way to impress your next employer without leaving the house.
Find job listings by industry, view participating employers, and join their “chat room” to hear more about their company and available job openings. Our team will host presentations about resume writing and interview tips each hour during the job fairs.
Register now and you will receive an email reminder the morning of the job fair, as well as browse available openings to choose which employers you would like to interview with.
Here are some tips on how to win at your next interview:
- Have your resume updated and ready to send out.
- Turn your video on when interacting with employers.
- Dress nicely to make a great first impression.
- Keep your phone muted except when asking a question.
- Be in a quiet place with minimal background noise.
Good luck!
