SLIDELL — Job seekers can connect with employers at the fifth annual MEGA Fall Job Fair, on Wednesday, Oct. 20 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Castine Center in in Mandeville.
Presented by Tri-Parish Works in partnership with St. Tammany Recreation District, GNO Inc., St. Tammany Parish Government, Louisiana Northshore and St. Tammany Corporation, the event will feature 150 employers with over 6,000 open positions, from all industries at worksite locations from Baton Rouge to the Gulf Coast and the southshore. Jobs range from managers to welders, administrative to RNs, law enforcement to sales, customer service to engineers, and everything in between.
Many employers will interview at the event, and some will make job offers at the event, so job seekers should come prepared, dressed neatly, and with several copies of their resumes. Tri-Parish Works professionals are available to assist job seekers, from reviewing resumes to offering tips to nail the interview.
An additional feature of the MEGA Job Fair will be the 12:30 p.m. presentation of Tri-Parish Works’ 2020-2021 Business of the Year award to an employer that has exhibited outstanding hiring and retention practices throughout this difficult time, as well as extensive collaboration with Tri-Parish Works and contributions to the community, including contributions to the fight against COVID-19.
