Here’s a reminder for veterans and anyone else seeking a job in the KJAN listening area: A Job Fair is being held today in Atlantic at Iowa Western Community College. It’s intended for employees affected by the loss of jobs announced late last month at Plastic Professionals in Atlantic, but anyone can attend. Officials with Iowa WorkForce Development say the Job Fair runs from Noon until 3-p.m. May 18th.  Veterans will be given preference and will be allowed in from 11-a.m. until Noon only, prior to any other job seekers.

Among the confirmed employers who will have representatives on-hand is: NSK/AKS; Menards; Conductix-Wampfler; Warren Distribution; Henningsen Construction; Mahle; Lisle Corp.; Atlantic Bottling Company and Avoca Specialty Care.

Tables will be available for you to complete applications, but if you have paper applications already in your hands, bring them with you. In addition to representatives from various companies on-hand to provide information and possibly conduct interviews, job seekers will have access to the IowaWORKS lab to complete online applications.
