John Kline to Host Career & Jobs Fair July 15 at Eagan Community Center

BURNSVILLE - To assist Minnesotans with a highly competitive and uncertain job market, Minnesota Congressman John Kline will host a Career and Jobs Fair from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., Monday, July 15 at the Eagan Community Center. The career and jobs fair is free and open to the public.

"I am pleased to host a jobs fair that will provide direct assistance to Minnesotans who are among the millions of Americans looking for a job," said Kline, the Chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee. "Too many Minnesotans have been out of work for more than several months, wages are stagnant, and the unemployment rate is still too high making this the weakest economic recovery in our nation's history. I encourage constituents of the 2nd district to attend this event and share the information with anyone they know who is struggling as they navigate the uncertain economy. I hope my career and jobs fair provides new opportunities to put Minnesotans back to work."

Scheduled to attend Kline's career and jobs fair are several dozen private-sector employers who currently have job openings in a wide variety of fields including the health care, technology, financial, and retail industries. Employment assistance organizations and a variety of educational institutions are also scheduled to attend. Last spring, approximately 900 Minnesotans attended Kline's career and jobs fair.

The fair will also include breakout sessions focusing tips for job seekers including effective resume writing. The Better Business Bureau and Minnesota Department of Military Affairs will also be on-hand offering workshops to help veterans find employment by translating specific veterans' skillsets into finding a job.
