Dec. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- On January 29 and 30, 2013, ADVANCE is hosting a free two-day national online job fair for healthcare professionals. This convenient career event has been organized to connect job-seekers all over the country with new, exciting job and education opportunities.

The healthcare sector was responsible for one out of every six jobs created in 2012*, maintaining its status as one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. Hospitals and health systems consistently add hundreds of thousands of jobs each year, even when the economy is struggling.

This career event shines the spotlight on opportunities in nursing, rehabilitation, respiratory care and sleep medicine, imaging and radiation oncology, speech-language pathology, medical laboratory and health information. Students and professionals in these fields can chat with representatives from hiring facilities, instantly upload their resumes in each exhibitor’s booth, research potential employers and more.
