Job Fair March 25th – Over 1,000 jobs – Howe, Indiana

LaGrange, IN, March 19, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Linking Michiana has gathered employers from various cities in Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan to meet potential employees at their 3rd Annual Job Fair at Howe Military Academy. Job seekers of all ages are invited. Whether you are looking for your first job, have years of experience, or exploring career options – this may be the perfect occasion for you. High school seniors could also benefit from attending, because several employers will be seeking to fill additional full time positions coming available this summer. Bring your resumes and dress as you would for a job interview.

While this annual hiring event helps area job seekers gain employment, it also raises money for Howe Military Academy’s Scholarship Fund. A special addition to Linking Michiana’s job fair is the laptop station set up by PMC Computers & Surveillance, of Kendallville, Indiana, for job seekers to apply for positions online.

If you are a Hoosier veteran, a Veteran’s Employment & Training Advisor from WorkOne Northeast will be available to answer questions and explain their services.

Whether you are looking for new job, or better job – job seekers from Southern Michigan and Northern Indiana are encouraged to attend.
