April 26, 11am-2pm at Troy Field in Bend
The Oregon Employment Department and WorkSource Oregon will be hosting an outdoor job fair in downtown Bend. The event takes place Tuesday, April 26 from 11am-2pm at Troy Field, 51 NW Louisiana Ave., Bend, OR 97701.
There will be over two dozen employers from various industries throughout Central Oregon ready to hire. Job seekers and interested community members are invited to attend. They should bring resumes and expect to be interviewed on the spot by employers. Employers come from industries such as healthcare, construction, manufacturing, information technology, tech, public sector, education and nonprofit.
“Job seekers will have plenty of time to speak directly with employers and learn more about their company,” said Mike Derrickson, a WorkSource Oregon business services representative. “Face-to-face contact with employers will increase a job seeker’s odds of being remembered and will stand out from other applicants that are only connecting digitally. Making personal connections often plays a major part in getting hired, and this is the perfect opportunity to learn more about who is hiring and make those personal connections. Job seekers will have a chance to learn about future positons opening and tap into lesser-known jobs that only insiders know about. Every employer invited was chosen because of the professional opportunities they offer,” according to the WorkSource Oregon Business Services Team.
Job seekers with questions or those wanting assistance preparing for the job fair are encouraged to email the WorkSource Business Services Team at oed_hirecentralor@employ.oregon.gov or come into one of our WorkSource Oregon offices and take advantage of the many career-building resources offered. Our Bend office is located at 1645 NE Forbes Rd #100, Bend, OR 97701. Our Redmond office is located at 2158 SE College Loop, Suite B, Redmond, OR 97756.
