Virtual job fair to be Wednesday

A KansasWorks virtual job fair is planned from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 10.

During the online job fair, job seekers may chat live with commerce managers and human resources team members.

Candidates will be able to upload their resumes to a virtual job fair account before the event. Job seekers may participate via computer, smart phone or tablet.

“We have an outstanding team at the Department of Commerce— one that is filled with motivated and talented individuals,” Lieutenant Governor-Secretary David Toland said. “We’re looking for more candidates eager to join our team and fill open positions that are critical in our mission to advance economic growth and prosperity across the state.”

Numerous statewide virtual job fairs have been presented since the pandemic began and are a safe way to successfully connect Kansas job seekers and employers. Specifically, the Nov. 10 job fair will seek to fill the following open positions at Commerce: communications coordinator for the marketing-communications division; finance specialist for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program; grassroots strategy developer for the Office of Rural Prosperity; Workforce services specialist; and other openings.
