Las Vegas residents looking for new job opportunities will want to mark their calendars for May 1, as the Original Spring Job Fair is making its return to the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall. Hosted by Clark County Commissioners Tick Segerblom and Jim Gibson, the event is a longstanding staple in the community, offering a free platform for both job seekers and employers.
According to details provided on the Clark County website, this year's fair is expected to draw around 100 employers with thousands of job openings, and those interested can pre-register at a link provided to expedite their entry on the day of the event. Pre-registration not only saves time at the door but, it also allows prospective employees to scope out the participating employers, and keeping prospective employees in the loop with essential updates as the fair approaches it demonstrates just how valuable this annual convention is.
"Our Spring Job Fair is The Original Spring Job Fair," Segerblom emphasized in a statement captured by Clark County's news release, highlighting the non-profit nature of the vent which invites businesses and job seekers at no cost. On the flip side of the employment coin, Commissioner Gibson pointed out the fair's direct impact on the local economy stating, "Helping employers connect to qualified employees helps keep our economy strong."
Last year's Original Spring Job Fair was a significant success, with nearly 4,000 attendees and a rewarding one in five attendees walked away with job offers right on the spot, it's not just a networking event; it's a platform where careers begin. To aid job seekers further, the event will include a free pop-up EmployNV Career Hub, providing resume reviews by career coaches, and computers and printers which can be instrumental in making those all-important edits or getting extra copies of resumes for distribution during the fair.
The fair doesn't stop at job connections—it is also mindful of the needs of parents in search of employment with its offer of free childcare through Kids Quest, a perk that underscores the community-conscious nature of this annual happening. For those worried about logistical issues such a parking, the fair has that covered too, ensuring that parking is free and easily accessible in lots adjacent to the venue.
