Job seekers and employers spent an afternoon getting to know each other last week during the Second Annual Community Job Fair hosted by Cerro Coso Community College. Nearly 30 employers were in attendance and more than 200 job seekers attended the fair throughout the afternoon. The job fair was a culmination of a week-long career seminar and job search events organized and hosted by the Owens Valley Career Development Center and sponsored by Bishop Paiute Tribe, Bishop Sunrise Rotary, Serra Employment Services, Paiute Palace Casino, Bishop Indian Education Center and the Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance. The free event included workshops such as, Job Application Writing, Dress for Success, Writing a Winning Resume, and Resources for Success. Local community leaders volunteered to present the workshops and participate in mock interviews and motivational lectures.
