IE Career Fair- Wrap Up
Last week’s career fair was quite the success- 35 employers and over 1,500 job seekers showed up to the Ontario Hilton, both parties hoping to shake hands and make connections.
The morning started off strong, with the bulk of the crowd showing up at 10 am when the doors opened. Lines quickly formed around employers like Kaiser Permanente and Loma Linda Medical Center, but each employer made sure to talk to seekers who patiently waited their turn.
"Nobody took a break at our booth," said Ben Bunker, representative for Loma Linda. "We had a line all day, so it was exceptional."
A wide variety of employers were featured at the event- insurance companies like Aflac and Farmers, as well as cable provider Time Warner, rental service Enterprise, and law enforcement entities like the FBI and the LAPD. We were pleased to see a few familiar faces in the crowd- representatives from Farmers Insurance, Trilogy Financial, and Prudential have all come to previous career fairs.
The overall atmosphere was busy but excited as both employers and job seekers got the opportunity to get out and meet new people.
We even got the chance to sit down with some happy job seekers and some employers who were eager to talk about their career fair experience:
Hopefully the next career fair will be as good as the last! We'll be visiting Orange County next- details can be found on our Facebook page or on our website, DiverseCareers.com. Mark your calendars- August 26th, at 10 am. Employers, if you're interested in registering, please email info@diversecareers.com
