Job fair hosted by joint forces in Ray County
This past week, the Richmond Area Chamber and Richmond City united forces with the Richmond High School to host a job fair for local area businesses to find their next employee.
A job fair or career fair is a great place to meet many potential employers all at once.
These fairs can help network people in their interested industries and become more aware of what businesses’ values are in an employee, according to indeed.com.
Chamber Director Renee Kellerman said there were nearly 20 local businesses and agencies in total.
“We had great feedback and businesses want us to continue this event,” said Kellerman.
Those who had booths out during the fair spoke about why they thought the job fair “I think it’s a good thing, especially for the kids. Some kids are ready to work at 18 and some aren’t quite ready. The space is wonderful at RHS,” said Felicia Farabee, Central Missouri Community Credit Union Manager. “I always want to hire locals because my members know the local people.”
