“Going into a job fair can be overwhelming, whether it is your first time or you’ve done it before,” Freeholder Director Robert M.

The free job fair workshops are a great way to prepare yourself and learn new skills to present your best self to potential employers.”

“These free workshops are a great way for job seekers to get a feel for what will be happening at the fair and what they should expect from employers,” Simmons said. “Attendees will learn strategies such as networking, social media techniques, and how to use keywords on resumes that will catch an employer’s attention and make them stand out.”
