Industry specific job fair planned for Gloucester County

Job seekers will have the opportunity to speak with employers, hand out resumes

Gloucester County and St. Matthews Community Development Corporation will team up again to host a Job Fair and Resource Event on Saturday, Feb. 4 at St. Matthew’s Community Development in the Recreation Center, 245 Glassboro Road, Williamstown. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“Whenever we can work within a community to help promote employment or any other service the county is happy to do it,” Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger said.

This job fair will be industry specific with employers in the health care, retail, hospitality industries, financial services, and administration and technology opportunities.

“Making a first impression counts. Job seekers should be prepared to speak with employers, dressed for success and have copies of their resume,” Freeholder Heather Simmons said.

According to Simmons, liaison to the Department of Economic Development, the county is working on the MEGA Job Fair for March 24 at Rowan College at Gloucester County.
