The Patriot Day Career Fair will take place on Tuesday afternoon at the Junction City Municipal Building. The event is from 2:00-7:00 p.m.
Lidia Smith is the center supervisor for the KANSASWORKS Workforce Center in both Junction City and Manhattan. "This is a community event where we help employers find job seekers," Smith said. There are 50 employers that are signed up and scheduled to be at the event and the event is free and open for all to attend.
Smith advises job seekers and individuals attending the event to bring their resumes. If an individual does not have a resume, the KANSASWORKS mobile center will be on-site, and staff will help you create/touch-up a resume, and even print it off.
"We have interview rooms set up that so that employers may want to interview them there, right on spot, so they could potentially leave with a job in hand," Smith said. "I just want the public to know that we give you all the tools that you need to become job ready, and we hope that the Junction City and Manhattan Workforce Center can help you find the job and career that you need."
Throughout the event they will have raffles and giveaways every half hour. Some of the prizes include movie tickets, gift cards to IHOP, a KANSASWORKS gift basket, a year-long pass to the YMCA, a K-State mug and much more! Winners must be present to claim their prize.
