Employers from throughout southeast Michigan will be at the fair.

 

Representatives will be recruiting for a variety of positions:
  ~ Accounting/Bookkeeping
  ~ Sales & Management
  ~ Customer Service
  ~ Computer Applications
  ~ Health Care
  ~ Human Resources
  ~ Clerical
  ~ Franchising Opportunities

In addition, educational institutions and training providers will be on hand to meet with people who are considering new careers that require additional training.

Here are the companies and that have registered so far: (Check back in the coming days for more!)

At its booth each company will post the positions it is seeking to fill.

The recruiters will explain the type of skills the firm is looking for in potential job candidates and answer questions about the company and the jobs they are seeking to fill.   

RESUMES
Some employers will be ready to accept resumes from individuals who meet their needs.  Other companies require job seekers to apply online at their web sites.  In this case, it is still worthwhile to meet the recruiters and learn about the positions before submitting an application.

If you are not able to attend the job fair, there is no way for ABLE to pass your resume to employers.

ARRIVE EARLY
In 2006 more than 2,000 job seekers attended the "Ability is Ageless" Job Fair.
 Because so many people are expected, job seekers should plan on arriving early to avoid the crowd.  The doors open at 9 a.m., but we suggest arriving well ahead of that time.  Please plan to wait in line.  Those who arrive late in the morning should expect to wait longer in line, and there might not be enough time to get into the exhibit area by the end of fair at 1 p.m.

PARKING
Because of the anticipated crowds, it may be difficult to find parking.  The hotel parking lot is located on the north side of the hotel. Additional parking is available nearby in the Northland shopping center.  Do not to park in the HAP parking lot or in the fire lanes.

RESERVATIONS
Reservation are not required.

IT'S FREE!
There is no charge for the Ability is Ageless Job Fair!
