Follow on Google News | Better Together, Grace Church to host Second Chance Job Fair on Nov. 15By: Better Together Better Together's Second Chance job fairs help job seekers overcome barriers to employment, such as incarceration, homelessness and even lack of transportation, by opening the door to background-friendly employers. Participating employers include Chicken Salad Chick, Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida, Hands On Staffing, Jimmy John's, The Salvation Army, Secure Staffing and Spherion Staffing. The church-based job fair not only connects job seekers with local employers who offer on-the-spot job opportunities, but also provides resources to facilitate stronger connections and more hires. Free one-on-one job coaching sessions also available to job seekers to review resumes and interviewing skills, and additional services, such as free haircuts and clothing, will be available onsite. The community job fair is part of Better Together's "Better Jobs" program, which has helped 36,000 applicants connect with employment opportunities across 26 states. At job fairs hosted by Better Together, two-thirds of attendees get a job interview, and nearly half receive a job offer on the spot. "The livelihoods of workers across Southwest Florida have been impacted by Hurricane Ian, and finding new jobs can be especially challenging for people already facing barriers to employment," The Nov. 15 job fair will take place at Grace Church's Fort Myers Central Campus, located at 2415 Grand Ave. in Fort Myers.
