What to Expect

Employers from throughout southeast Michigan will be at the fair.

Representatives from educational institutions and training providers will also be be available for people who are thinking about returning to school for a career change.

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
Please bring enough copies of your resume.  Operation ABLE will not be able to make copies for you at the fair.

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 important to meet the recruiters and learn about the positions before submitting an application.

If you are not able to attend the job fair, unfortunately there is no way for ABLE to pass your resume to employers.  Please check their web sites for job information.

ARRIVE EARLY
In 2007 more than 2,500 job seekers attended the "Ability is Ageless" Job & Career 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 will 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.
