Last week's job fair in Willowbrook, Illinois hosted by state Sen. Christine Radogno, and Reps. Jim Durkin (R-IL) and Ron Sandack proved to be a success.

“Promoting job creation and opportunities for job seekers and employers is the mission of our annual jobs fair,” Radogno said. "This year was no exception as we successfully brought together over 120 employers and 500 job seekers under one roof, and helped match hundreds of qualified job seekers with employers.”

Based on Illinois Department of Employment Security results, 1,494 resumes were collected during the job fair. In addition,  216 interviews were conducted, and 264 provisional or firm offers were extended on site.
