In partnership with the city of Long Beach, LBCC is hosting a job fair with hiring officials from the city’s many departments on Thursday, 9 a.m to 3 p.m.
“I encourage everyone to take advantage of these opportunities, to get this insight directly with the city and employer and make those connections,” says Veronica Rodriguez, LBCC Workforce Development Training Coordinator.
The Fair will have application workshops at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Registration is required but can be done at the door.
The application workshops will teach attendees how to customize their resume for the job they are applying for and how to create an account and apply for a city job.
“You should bring hard copy resumes” Rodriguez states “and you will be able to create an account and fill out an application there.”
It is not necessary to bring a list of references that can be provided further down the process.
“First impressions are important, business casual, polo or slacks (no rips, clean and pressed), dress one step above what you are applying for,” suggests Rodriguez.
Those expected to participate in the fair are hiring officials from the following city of Long Beach departments: fire, development services, health and human services, parks-recreation-marine, police, financial management and many more.
The fair will teach attendees how to apply, have an opportunity to apply to jobs, and meet hiring officials for the city.
LBCC has job fairs every semester for the city of Long Beach and LBUSD and also hosts fairs that are trade specific, like culinary, healthcare and construction.
LBCC has a career center assistance at both PAC LL-206 and LAC A-1097. They will help with career assistance and resume assistance available. “An appointment is needed to see a counselor,” according to Ann Marie Nunag, LBCC Career Center Coordinator.
The career center will not only help with resume preparation and job search but they will help with interview skills.
The fair is on Thursday, March 23 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at LAC in room T-1200.
