Heroes4Hire Job and Career Fair

More than 80 companies and organizations will participate in the 7th Heroes4Hire job and career fair taking place 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 19 at East Hartford’s Rentschler Field Ballroom. A ribbon-cutting ceremony to be held at 10:30 a.m. will celebrate the fact that with this event, the Heroes4Hire job fairs have now served more than 10,000 Connecticut veterans.

In addition to more than 80 employers on site to interview the job seekers, the fair will offer résumé critique and tips from the Labor Department’s Nationally Certified Professional Résumé Writers. Outside will be parked the state’s Vet Express van and the federal V.A. mobile bus to provide referrals and help with questions about military services and benefits.

Those attending the free job and career fair are urged to bring plenty of résumés and be ready to talk with employers on site. There is plenty of free parking and a listing of participating companies and directions to Rentschler Field can be found on the Connecticut Department of Labor’s Web site at www.ctjobfairs.com.

The veterans-only event is sponsored by the departments of Labor and Veterans’ Affairs, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, CBIA, the Travelers, CBS Radio and local Chambers of Commerce.
