New at this year’s fair is a free vision board workshop that will be running the length of the event. There is no need to register.

“We’ll continually take people into the workshop as space opens up throughout the day,” Brinkman added.

The job fair will also feature a table on side hustles if you need some ideas to earn a little extra money.

Some pointers to keep in mind when attending a job fair: Dress as if you are going to an interview; bring multiple copies of your resume; know your schedule so you are ready to sign up for an interview; practice a 30-second sales pitch of your background; be prepared for the question – tell me a bit about yourself – and practice your response.

If you need help with your resume or preparing for the job fair, contact one of the WorkBC Centres in our area: (250) 545-2215 in Vernon or (250) 838-2324 in Enderby.

WorkBC will also host a Job Seeker Lounge at the fair so if questions arise at the event, you can ask a professional.

The event is sponsored by the City of Vernon.
