March 5, 2012 - PRLog -- ADVANCE is hosting an in-person job fair on March 15 (9:30 AM to 2:30 PM ET) in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (655 West 34th Street, New York, NY 10001). Although unemployment is high in many industries, ADVANCE Job Fairs continue to bring healthcare professionals and facilities together, helping them thrive in these tough times. In fact, ten of the twenty fastest growing industries are healthcare-related. It is estimated that the healthcare industry will generate millions of new jobs through 2015.* ADVANCE strives to meet this demand with its convenient job fairs.

This job fair offers many opportunities in several different healthcare fields, including nursing, rehabilitation, imaging and radiation oncology, speech-language pathology, respiratory care and sleep medicine, medical laboratory and health information. Students and professionals have the chance to meet recruiters from a variety of hiring facilities and network with their colleagues. Attendees can distribute their resumes, collect information, interview and apply for jobs on the spot. With so many exhibitors searching for qualified staff, this is one job fair healthcare professionals should not miss.

Attendees can also take part in up to five hours of free educational sessions between 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM on the day of the event. These sessions will cover vital healthcare topics, such as neurological diseases, infection control, medical errors, case management, migraines and more. Free refreshments are served and attendees can play games to win great prizes. Attendees are also entered to win bigger prizes, including a $500 Visa gift card, cash and ADVANCE Healthcare Shop gift cards.
