“From healthcare to hospitality, retail to construction, manufacturing, logistics and more, these businesses offer opportunities to suit most any job seeker,” said Cory Weaver, CareerSource CLM’s director of operations. “Additionally, several are hiring age 16 and up, which is particularly critical for youth and young adults who don’t know how to get started earning a paycheck but are ready, willing and able to work.”

Proper dress will be required and anyone planning to attend the job fair should come dressed to impress – absolutely no flip-flops or casual sandals, t-shirts with profane or obscene language or images, no shorts or jeans with rips or holes, or anything that is too tight, too short or revealing.
