The Mid-South Drive-Thru Job Fair in Southaven, MS is set for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, September 29.
The Job Fair, hosted in part by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security, in partnership with the Southaven Chamber of Commerce, will be held in the South East lot of Landers Center off Pepperchase Dr. and I-55 in DeSoto County.
