If you are unemployed and currently looking for a job, get that resume ready because on Wednesday, October 17, dozens of businesses are coming together to participate in the Presque Isle Fall Career Fair.

Employers representing the healthcare, finance, agricultural, manufacturing, education, criminal justice, technology and other industries will be attending. A sample of employers recruiting at the fair includes: McCain Foods, the Caribou Vet Center, Sitel, Sears, Northern Maine General, Fastenal, Irving Woodlands, Acme Monaco, the National Guard, U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Customs, Jobs in ME, Maine Staffing, Pines Health, Fastenal, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Lowes, Walmart and the State Police.

'Job fairs are a great way for people to learn about many types of jobs in many different industries," said Commissioner of Labor Jeanne Paquette. "They are also a good opportunity to make a strong first impression with an employer.’

The Maine Department of Labor staff suggested attendees should bring a copy of their resume, dress professionally, and expect to have an ‘interview-like’ conversation with potential employers.

If you are also a veteran who is looking for a job, the career fair will have representatives on hand to handle any questions you might have.

The Presque Isle Fall Career Fair will take place at the Crow’s Nest Restaurant and Event Center, located at 150 Maysville Street in Presque Isle.
