Oregon state government is proud to present its first annual career fair to be held in September. The event will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2008 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the lawn of the Capitol Mall in Salem, Oregon.
The purpose of this event is to invite job seekers to consider what employment opportunities state agencies have to offer, and to encourage existing state workers to explore new job possibilities within state government. Agency representatives will describe to jobseekers the advantages of working in state government, and the satisfaction of following a career in public service.
With a third of state workers eligible to retire within the next five years, Oregon state government needs new people to step into the jobs retirees will leave behind. This exciting career fair will enable Oregonians to meet state recruiters face-to-face, and find out about the great opportunities that await them.
