Three regional job fairs are coming up in Grey County.
They are set to be held in Hanover, Owen Sound and Meaford.
The County says, “A number of full-time, part-time and seasonal positions will be available to support various industries.”
Registration is not required for job seekers to participate in these events. Employers can register for a booth online at www.grey.ca/job-fair while spaces are available.
There is a long list of employers that will be at the job fairs. You can find a full list on the county’s website.
They range from motels and resorts, to restaurants, education, food processing, childcare, construction, security, public administration, finance and more.
The County says, “Bring along copies of your resume and be ready to speak to speak to employers and possibly even do an on-the-spot interview.”
YMCA Employment Services is available leading up to the job fair to help with resume creation.

Some tips from job fair organizers are to ensure your resume is up to date, look at the list of employers at the job fair and choose who you would like to speak to, research the company you are interested in and look at which positions are available,
prepare some talking points in advance, and dress professionally.
