Are you interested in new innovative ways to recruit? Then join us at Eccles Town Hall for our inaugural Reverse Job Fair... What's it all about..? A reverse job fair is an innovative event where the roles are reversed. Job seekers have their own stands where they showcase their skills and experiences, and employers walk around the venue, visiting candidates that align with their employment needs. This format provides a unique opportunity for employers to meet a diverse range of candidates in a more personal and detailed manner than traditional jobs fairs or recruitment events. More here... Q: What exactly is a Reverse Job Fair? A: Imagine a traditional job fair turned on its head! Instead of employers setting up booths, it’s the job seekers who showcase their skills and experiences at their own tables. Employers walk around, engage in conversations, and discover potential candidates. Q: What role do employers play at this event? A: Employers are the audience with a unique opportunity to meet a diverse group of talented individuals, learn about their skills, and even discuss potential job opportunities. It’s a chance to see the person behind the CV. Q: Who sets up the tables at a Reverse Job Fair? A: The job seekers themselves! Each participant sets up a table to represent their skills, experiences, and the type of work they’re seeking. It’s a personal touch that adds depth to their professional profile. Q: Do I need to have vacancies in my company to attend? A: Not necessarily on the day. If you are anticipating recruitment for specific roles in the future but these positions are not yet open, you are still encouraged to attend. Feel free to bring along job specifications and share the expected timescale for recruitment. This event offers a fantastic opportunity to get ahead in finding the perfect candidate for upcoming roles. Q: Why is the job fair organised in this manner? A: This format empowers job seekers to present themselves in a creative and personal way, while employers get a clearer, more holistic view of potential candidates. It’s a win-win: candidates stand out, and employers find hidden gems. Q: Why should I attend this Reverse Job Fair? A: Beyond the opportunity to fill current vacancies, you’ll be networking, promoting your company, and perhaps most importantly, supporting an inclusive employment landscape. It’s an investment in the community and in the future of your business. Mark Your Calendar! When: 26th March Where: Eccles Town Hall Hosted by: Salford Supported Employment Service Interested?

Hey, employers! The Centennial High School JAG classes would like to invite you to their Spring Hiring Fair on May 9.

Each student will have a table make that best represents his/her desired career and educational aspirations. They will be showcasing what they are hoping to do and they types of jobs they are looking for. Employers can then walk around to talk to specific students who best fit the job/apprenticeship which they are looking to fill. The goal of this hiring fair is to have all students either be offered a job, apprenticeship, or enrollment into a specific post-secondary training program that gives them valuable experience in their desired career fields.

Randy Neitzel felt like he was spinning his wheels. 🚗 He didn’t want to work in human relations anymore, but he wasn’t sure which career field was a good fit for him. Also, hiring managers struggled to see how Neitzel’s skills applied to other career fields. Undeterred, Neitzel attended a Hiring Our Heroes Virtual Hiring Fair. There he connected with CarMax — an employer he hadn’t considered before this hiring event even though CarMax is a national retailer with more than 200 stores, including one near him in Tucson, Arizona. Soon, Neitzel learned about CarMax’s commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace, along with its dedication to hiring veterans. “Military-connected talent brings attributes such as initiative, leadership, critical thinking, dedication, and many other great qualities in addition to highly trained and self-disciplined professionalism to an organization,” said Keith Fox, senior recruiter in military sourcing at CarMax. Now, Neitzel is thriving in his new role at CarMax. “I get to be a guide in the car-buying process. I help people find a vehicle they need at a price they can afford,” he said. “It’s fun to do something different than what I’ve been doing for last 30 years.” Have you considered a career in transportation? 🚚 🚃 ✈️ Through virtual hiring fairs and career exploration events hosted by Hiring Our Heroes, you can learn about career fields that align with your interests, values, and skills. Here are four upcoming hiring events focused on careers in the transportation industry: ⭐ September 5: Fort Campbell Career Exploration & Hiring Fair: Transportation & Logistics ⭐ September 11: Virtual Hiring Fair: Logistics, Skills Trades, and Transportation ⭐ November 20: Virtual Hiring Fair: Logistics, Skills Trades, and Transportation You can register for these events or browse the entire Hiring Our Heroes’ calendar at https://bit.ly/3QmL0eK We hope to see you at an upcoming event! 🤝 Eric Eversole | Elizabeth OBrien | Alyssa Hjembo | Cara Cooke | Carla Miller, MHR, MAIR | Jana Toner | Caitlin Wright
