This job fair will provide you with access to employers seeking talented candidates in every discipline, from hospitality and health care to finance, education, telecommunications, computer science, and everything in between. 

 

One hundred twenty-five local employers and employment resource organizations will be participating in the free event. No registration is required for jobseekers.

 

“In addition to bringing in top employers from throughout the Monmouth County area, we are providing resources for jobseekers to assist them in preparing for their search,” said Freeholder Serena DiMaso, liaison to the County’s Division of Workforce Development.

 

During the job fair, there will be a job search workshop. Registration is not required for the workshop.

 

In addition, resume professionals will be available for one-on-one resume reviews. A registration table for sign-ups will be available for a 15 minute personal resume review. Job seekers are encouraged to make an appointment upon arrival as the reviews will be done on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

“The County continues to provide resources and to respond to the needs of its business community,” said DiMaso. “This job fair is one way the County helps residents and helps strengthen the business.”

 

From CentraState Healthcare System to United Parcel Service (UPS), there will be a variety of employers at the fair to meet nearly every field of employment. A full list of employers will be posted on www.visitmonmouth.com by Thursday, Sept. 18.
