Job Fair to Be Held in Monroe

Whether hoping to find a fresh start, a better job or a new career direction, job seekers will find a wealth of exciting opportunities at this free job fair. The Green County Job Fair will be held on Tuesday, September 27th, at Blackhawk Technical College – Monroe Campus, 210 Fourth Avenue, Monroe. The event will be held from 2:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. A variety of employers from both the public and private sectors will be eager to hire for immediate openings in a wide range of fields.
“As the economy rebounds, many employers are looking to fill open positions and add new jobs. At the same time, while we are experiencing the lowest unemployment rates since 2008, many people in our region are still unemployed or underemployed. This event connects talent with opportunity,” said Anna Schramke, Business Services Coordinator for the Southwest Wisconsin Workforce Development Board (SWWDB). Events like the Regional Job Fair, which connect the region’s talented workers with employers looking to hire, play a critical role in strengthening the innovation economy and supporting a strong middle class.
Employers are being added daily and the event is expected to attract 20-30 exhibitors. Employment representatives will be on hand to answer questions about their company and their open positions. Open positions are both full and part-time, represent virtually all industry sectors, from Manufacturing to Retail, and include entry-level positions as well as more advanced positions. Students looking for part-time employment and/or learning about careers are also encouraged to attend.
Workforce representatives remind job seekers planning to attend the event to “dress for success” in attire suitable for a job interview, practice telling the prospective employer why they should be hired and don’t forget to bring several copies of your resume. Many employers will be accepting applications on-site. Computers with internet access will be available to complete on-line job applications.
There is no charge to attend the Green County Job Fair.  For additional information, contact Heath Bierman, WI DWD, at (608) 741-3578, or go to www.wisconsinjobcenter.org/events.
