CAMP HUMPHREYS — Approximately 120 job seekers attended an annual Army Community Service (ACS) Job Fair Sept. 28.
The attendees learned about available jobs from about 20 employers in fields that include education, childcare, engineering, design, information technology and others. The free job fair was held on post at the Super Gym. It was organized by the ACS.
Suzanne James, ACS director, explained why the job fair is held in the fall, what is done to organize it and how it is valuable for the community.
"We usually schedule the job fair in the fall so it gives the Family Members an opportunity to meet local employers. These are Family Members that have just arrived in the community over the summer and so now in the fall is a good time to introduce them to the local employers," said James.
To prepare for the event, ACS reached out to local companies and also companies that employ Family Members at other U. S. Army garrisons throughout the country, and then invited them to join the job fair. According to James, this year's job fair had "a great assortment of companies that came up."
"We have Department Of Defense Dependents Schools system representative for substitute teachers, we have a need for personal trainers here at the gym, we have a need for childcare providers at the Child Development Center, we have a need for people that might work at the Non-Appropriated Fund system and General Schedule system, and we have college university representative positions open. So it is an assortment of positions," James added.
To support the future attendees, ACS organized a workshop on how to write a resume, dress for success and what to say during the interview before the event.
Monique Garnett,a Family Member who is new to Korea found the event very helpful.
"It (the job fair) gets your face out there, gives you a little bit more information inside on what the job is as well as being able to meet some of the people that would possibly employ you," said Garnett.
Garnett added that the job fair is a good way to network.
"It is very good for networking. Jobs might not be available at certain companies at certain times, but you could get an opportunity elsewhere later on if you know different people in different positions."
