Pennsauken Township, the Business, Industry, and Government Council of Pennsauken, and Living Faith Christian Center are hosting the Township’s second annual job fair on Thursday, Sept. 17. The event, held at Living Faith Christian Center, located at 2323 Rt. 73 in Pennsauken from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., will allow job seekers to connect with local businesses and organizations with open positions.

At last year’s event, over 400 job seekers met with over 20 businesses and organizations looking for hires; several individuals were hired on the spot and 100 percent of companies that responded to the post-event survey indicated that they found candidates that could fill immediate positions.

Individuals unable to attend the event, or those looking to connect with potential employers in advance, can upload their resume at http://www.twp.pennsauken.nj.us/content/pennsauken-job-fair-2015. Pennsauken’s Economic Development department will share resumes with all the companies who participate in this year’s job fair and will keep these electronic resumes on file for companies looking to hire employees in the future.

In addition, there will be a free pre-event job fair workshop held on Sept. 10, 2:00 p.m., at Living Faith Christian Center. Job seekers will learn important tips about attending the event, including how to dress to impress and important questions to ask potential employers.
