Reno Job and Resource Expo

The City of Reno's Job and Resource Expo is this Wednesday, November 12, at the downtown Reno Ballroom on the corner of Center and Fourth Streets. Admission to the Expo is free and it runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. At a news conference in the Reno City Hall on Monday, Mayor Bob Cashell announced that over 50 businesses and government agencies offering potential employment will be at the Expo. This is a great opportunity to explore a big chunk of the local job scene all in one place.

For people a little rusty in the job search department, there will be human resource professionals to assist with information on topics such as applications and resumes, career options and counseling, personal finance, and improving job hunting skills. Also on hand will be representatives of individual and family support services available to help those needing assistance during this economically troubled time.

According to a City of Reno press release, "The purpose of Expo is to utilize the community connections and resources of the Reno Redevelopment Agency to connect job seekers to potential employment as well as provide resources that can hone job hunting skills, provide expertise in coping skills, or help in connecting to programs, services or agencies that can offer financial or other assistance. This endeavor is part of the Reno Redevelopment Agency’s mission to retain or create jobs in Reno."
