The event runs from 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m., and it’s absolutely free. “If you’re looking for a job, or just looking for a better job, my Career Fair is the place to be,” said the Congressman. “Last year, over 4,000 guests took advantage of this chance to meet and interview with St. Louis’ top employers. And once again, in addition to our wonderful local employers, we are offering a direct pipeline to over 100,000 federal jobs currently open all over the world.” For the second consecutive year, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management will provide a one-stop shop at the Career Fair to help interested job seekers learn about, and apply for, over 100,000 federal jobs, worldwide. OPM officials will visit with applicants and conduct special break-out sessions on federal employment opportunities. "This really is a chance to help out a large number of people who are looking for opportunity." said Congressman Carnahan. "Congressman Clay's job fair is sure to be a success again this year, since his event provides a one-stop shop for thousands of area residents back in the job market and on the job hunt."
