CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – WorkForce West Virginia today announced the next date in a series of Statewide Virtual Job Fairs. Both employers and job seekers are invited to participate in the virtual event on Wednesday, October 2, from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m.
“This October marks the second year that WorkForce West Virginia is proud to offer our monthly Statewide Virtual Job Fairs,” said Scott Adkins, Acting Commissioner of WorkForce West Virginia. “We invite job seekers to join the more than 17,900 West Virginians who have registered to attend one of these convenient, virtual events and connect with employers all across the Mountain State.”
Registration is required for both interested employers and job seekers. Register as a job seeker for the October 2 Statewide Virtual Job Fair.
“Attending the Statewide Virtual Job Fairs hosted by WorkForce West Virginia offers unparalleled convenience, allowing employers to seamlessly connect with job seekers,” said James Bailey, Secretary of the WV Department of Commerce. “In the past two years, more than 3,000 West Virginia employers have taken advantage of this opportunity to connect with job seekers and receive more than 11,000 submitted resumes.”
When attending the event, job seekers are encouraged to dress professionally and have a calm, clutter-free background. The Virtual Statewide Job Fair portal features a Job Seeker Training video, a list of participating employers, and channels for attendees to register and log in.
After registering for the first time, new employers will create a “Virtual Booth” to connect with job seekers. After completion, this booth will be available during subsequent job fairs. Register as an employer for the October 2 event.
