Anyone looking for full-time or part-time employment opportunities within Luzerne County can register and upload resumes for the Luzerne County Recovery Job Fair taking place virtually 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Job seekers will have the opportunity to connect with 75 local employers hiring for full-time and part-time positions.
The job fair is free and could be especially helpful for those who have been displaced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a news release from the Greater Wyoming Valley Chamber.
The goal of this initiative is to provide a safe alternative to a traditional in-person job fair to allow job seekers to connect with potential employers on a virtual platform.
