Hundreds of jobs up for grabs at Community Job Fair

Jacksonville, FL — Hundreds of jobs are up for grabs on the First Coast as Job News USA partners with Gate for a community job fair at the Prime Osborn Convention Center.

The event takes place on December 5th and starts at 10 am and will end at 2 pm.

Job News USA General Manager Andy Lemister says job seekers should use this opportunity to their advantage because the odds are in their favor.

"There are definitely companies that need to hire and hire now for not just seasonal jobs, but more importantly just trying to hit their recruiting goals for the year."

Lemister says job seekers should dress professionally and with several copies of their resume. He suggests treating this job fair as a job interview. Lemister tells WOKV one of the reasons why so many companies take advantage of job fairs is because they get to have that face-to-face interaction.

"Questions I can guarantee that you're probably going to get are going to be along the lines are tell me about yourself, what kind of work are you looking to do going forward and why….and that and why part is absolutely critical."

Lemister says there have been job fair events such as this one where people are hired on the spot or begins the interviewing process for their potential career.
