Hello there
I bet you have been wondering where I've been for the last few weeks, yes? Well I have been taking a little rest after the great success of the inaugural Northern Beaches Jobs Fair.
And what a success it was!
45 businesses (all with local interest) offered in excess of 600 jobs to a large number of job seekers. We know that at least 500 turned up because that was the number of job seeker packs we had printed but how many came through the door after that? - well we have no idea. The Dee Why RSL (where the event was staged) believe the number was close to 700!
On offer for Job Seekers was help with resume writing, courses for further study with the local TAFE and careers advice from yours truly!
The whole morning buzzed with the noise of businesses and prospective employees meeting, greeting and finding out what was possible in the region.
Many parents brought their sons and daughters with them on a fact finding mission that included looking for part time jobs, finding help with other careers options and to see what apprenticeships or traineeships were available.
For those looking to fill in their gap year with the Defence Force there was also the opportunity to talk to personnel from the DFA recruitment centre.
If your region ever offers a jobs fair I strongly suggest you take up the opportunity to have a look - you will be surprised what you may find in terms of work right in your own back yard.
Till next time
