We’re here to give support and encouragement to Arlington residents dealing with workplace and career issues. Here are some resources to help meet the needs of the jobless and vocationally challenged in practical ways such as résumé writing, completing job applications and career planning.
ArlingtonAnswers.com Job Fair
The place was buzzing as hundreds of jobseekers passed through the 60+ employer booths and 15 resource agency tables.
Individuals gained useful insight and cutting edge advice in the Networking Basics and Interviewing Strategies workshops!
We would like to thank all of the sponsors, as well as our host site, The Church on Rush Creek, for all of the hard work and effort involved in such a great event:
Thanks also to Search4U Inc., the organization that taught the professional workshops and provided resume critiquing!
Read what one job seeker had to say:
Dear ArlingtonAnswers.com,
I attended the job fair you organized on March 29. My expectations were low. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you for all the hard work you obviously put into this one day! You were well-organized. All the volunteers were friendly and helpful. That is so much appreciated–especially for those of us who are unemployed. I learned so much from the different speakers and my resume critiquer. These are things which I am already applying to my job search.
Thank you so much for serving your community in this much-needed way!
Sincerely,
Beth Samuelson
