More than 80 employers plan to be in attendance and looking to hire at the upcoming Hamilton County Job Fair, hosted by Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear. The Job Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday at the Hamilton County 4-H Grounds, 2003 E. Pleasant St., Noblesville. Admission is free.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for citizens in Noblesville and all around. If we help somebody that’s the important thing,” said Ditslear.

Economic Development Director Judi Johnson said unemployment in Noblesville has dropped from 8 percent in 2010 to 7.1 percent in 2011 to 6.5 percent this year (all amounts are based on July numbers).

“It’s gone down every year which is promising,” said Johnson. “We’re really excited and looking forward to another great event. If we can help one person, I feel good about the fair.”
Employers in attendance will be from throughout central Indiana and job seekers throughout Indiana are welcome to attend. At last year’s fair, job seekers from 16 Indiana counties attended. In addition to meeting employers, many free resources and four breakout sessions will be taught by job search experts from WorkOne. All session attendees will be entered into drawings for gift cards. The sessions include:

• 10:15 to 11 a.m. – Employer-Focused Resumes
• 11:15 a.m. to noon – Interviewing Tips
• 1 to 1:45 p.m. – Career Exploration
