As the fall and winter recruiting season approaches, Calvert County businesses once again have the opportunity to appeal to local job seekers at the 2009 Calvert County Job Fair. This annual event will be held Wednesday, September 9, 2009, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Calvert County Fairgrounds in Barstow.
The Job Fair is co-sponsored by the Calvert County, Maryland, Department of Economic Development, Calvert County Chamber of Commerce, Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation and the Tri-County Council Division of Workforce Services.
Nearly 30 businesses participated in the 2008 Calvert County Job Fair and almost 400 job seekers visited the event. “Since all the exhibitors represented local businesses, it was a great draw for our local workforce and very appealing to those who were seeking full- or part-time employment,” said Calvert County Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Carolyn McHugh.
Registration for the event is free and limited to the Calvert County businesses community. Businesses should be actively seeking employees for full or part-time work and multi-level marketing organizations and businesses are not permitted. Registration includes a six-foot table and two chairs, company listing in the event brochure and two tickets for light refreshments. Registration deadline is August 26, 2009.
