Richland Community College Hosting Jobs Fair Thursday

Anyone seeking work has a great opportunity to find some Thursday.

Around 40 companies will be at a Job Fair on the campus of Richland Community College Thursday. Marcus Brown, Dean of Enrollment Services with RCC, explains this is going to be a unique opportunity for anyone seeking employment. Students fresh out of college to someone who has recently lost their job or anyone who has been seeking work for some time is invited to be a part of the Job Fair. Brown says employers at this year's fair are going to be ready to hire, so he recommends potential employees come dressed to interview and have several copies of your resume on hand.

When bringing potential businesses to the Jobs Fair, Richland sought out local businesses who would keep the businesses in the area. Brown says they will have employers from all over the district area for Richland. He says while there will be companies from bigger cities, they try to keep their focus local.

This won't be the biggest Job Fair Richland has hosted in the past, however, Brown believes the number of businesses at this year's fair could potentially still be a good size fair. Brown adds, despite this year not being as large as previous year's, it is still a good opportunity for anyone seeking work to come out and take a look at what is available.
