The Job Fair Options

The Columbus job market is one that is in desperate need of additional employment. As an unemployed individual what steps do you take to find a job? Do you head to the job fairs? Some do not stating that doing so is likely to get them very few potential leads. There are companies there that are looking to add sales team members or to add representatives that pay very little. Other businesses are lacking in career-level positions and rather represent minimal effort.

However, in the five job fairs in the city since September, some 1200 workers were hired in central Ohio. That is a significant increase in employment. The Columbus Chamber of Commerce worked with the city to encourage local businesses to participate in the events. More than 3000 people participated in the event. The expos had participation from 79 employers in and around the city. Positions ranged in hourly positions of $9.50 to $23 per hour, most of which were permanent positions.
