MARSHALLTOWN – On Wednesday, April 6, the public is invited to the annual Community Job Fair at the Marshalltown Community College Student Activity Center, 3700 S. Center St., in Marshalltown. From 10 am to 2 pm exhibitors from across Central Iowa will display information on job and career opportunities, as well as, education and training options available to those seeking employment or education for a new job or career change. The event is free and open to the public.

The Community Job Fair is a great venue for job seekers to familiarize themselves with employers from throughout the greater Central Iowa area. Companies set up booths where their representatives provide information about their business; opportunities within the company, education requirements of specific jobs; and the application process. Community members, including recent MCC alumni, and MCC students who are seeking a new career have the chance to ask questions and learn more about good opportunities that surround them.

The current economy means there are a lot of applicants for every job opening, so job seekers will find this job fair a good opportunity to sharpen their skills. There will be free resume critiquing, the popular Employer Panel, and the Opportunities Workshop for residents who are new to Marshalltown or if English is not their first language.

The free Community Job Fair is a great place to get new ideas, information and assistance to maximize your personal job search, as well as discover opportunities you didn’t know about. Mark your calendar now for April 6, 10 am to 2 pm!
