Community Job Fair coming to Decatur

In today's society, it can be hard to know where to search when it comes to job hunting.  There are hundreds of job sites online which can make it tough landing a new position.  Perspective employees might find more success with face-to-face interactions, which is what State Representative Sue Scherer and Workforce Investment Solutions is providing with a Community Job Fair in mid-July.
 
Larry Peterson is a Special Project Consultant with Workforce as he explains what their goal is when it comes to the job search.
