WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — If you want a new job, dust off your résumé and head to the Get Hired Job Fair this week.
It is on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Kansasworks Workforce Center, 2021 N. Amidon Suite 1100, near 21st and Amidon in Wichita.
“Get Hired is the region’s premier job fair with a focus on connecting military talent and skilled workers to employers,” said Keith Lawing, president and CEO of Workforce Alliance of South Central Kansas.
Everyone is invited to the job fair, but the first half hour of each day is reserved for veterans, active duty, Guard and Reserve members and their families.
“We are pleased to partner with attending employers to help bridge the gap from employers seeking talented job seekers, and certainly placing a special focus on those that have served our country,” Lawing said in a news release.
