Southwest Michigan Virtual Hiring Event

Those looking for a job may find it challenging to get the full interview experience during the current pandemic and employers looking for individuals who fit their open positions may be experiencing a similar challenge which is why Michigan Works! Berrien, Cass, Van Buren is putting on a series of virtual job fairs.

Here's what you can expect:

- Employers will have a few minutes at the beginning of every virtual hiring event to explain why a job seeker should join their team and explain what makes their company stand out.

- The meeting will be separated into break out rooms for more one-on-one conversations between employers and job seekers. This “shark tank” method of information sharing eliminates the uncomfortable feelings that attending job seekers have traditionally faced when attend hiring events and it also allows the employer to share more information about their company.

The next virtual hiring events will take place on Tuesday, August 25 from 10 AM to noon.

Job seekers who would like to attend are required to register to receive the Zoom Meeting link. They are encouraged to attend the Zoom meeting interview ready with an updated resume.
