Central Mississippians job hunting will soon have the opportunity to seek career opportunities at one of the largest employment fairs in the state.
The Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES) announced the 2024 Central Mississippi Employment Expo to take place next Tuesday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. The event will be held at the Mississippi Trade Mart in Jackson.
Attendees are recommended to show up and review the list of participating employers before the event. Copiers and scanners will not be available at the job fair, so attendees are encouraged to bring plenty of résumés.
“The Central Mississippi Employment Expo is a great opportunity for any Mississippian seeking employment,” Governor Tate Reeves said. “Mississippi businesses need you! If you are interested in entering the workforce or finding a career, I encourage you to attend this job fair.”
