MORE THAN 40 BUSINESSES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS PARTICIPATING IN JOB FAIR HOSTED BY CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS PITTMAN AND BOWMAN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CAREERSOURCE NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND GOODWILL INDUSTRIES OF NORTH FLORIDA
CareerSource Northeast Florida will have staff on-site at the job fair to assist attendees in connecting with local employers. Attendees are asked to bring multiple copies of their resume.
Goodwill Temps, a program of Goodwill Industries of North Florida, will be present and can hire immediately for both internal and external Goodwill positions. All applicants should bring two valid forms of ID (driver’s license, birth certificate, passport, Social Security card). Goodwill Temp staff will assist applicants in creating resumes if applicants do not have one. Some jobs will require on-site drug screening.
Positions include warehouse, laundry, retail, e-commerce, janitorial, call center, security, hospitality, manufacturing, and more. Some jobs include seasonal positions. All attendees should dress for success.

Pittman stated, “Our efforts together are to address the issue of displaced workers by partnering with local businesses that have resources and options to provide an opportunity for employment.” Bowman agreed, saying, “The amount of support from the business community and service providers shows our City’s commitment to our citizens and their families.”
