State Senator Seth Lewis (R-Bartlett) and State Representatives Amy Grant (R-Wheaton) and Jennifer Sanalitro (R-Hanover Park) will host a free Jobs Fair on August 28 in Carol Stream, Illinois. The event is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Fountain View Recreation Center in the Carol Stream Park District, located at 910 N. Gary Avenue.

The fair will feature over 50 employers seeking to fill various positions. Additionally, two workshops will be offered without the need for prior registration:

- 10:00 AM: How to Write a Resume that Gets You Noticed

- 11:00 AM: Interviewing with Confidence

“Our Jobs Fair provides an excellent opportunity for people to be paired with employers for jobs that suit their skillsets,” said Lewis. “I would encourage all people who are in search of sustainable employment to update their resumes and to come dressed to impress so they can interview at this jobs fair.”

Admission to both the fair and workshops is free, and attendees are encouraged to bring updated resumes.

“This event is all about empowering individuals with the resources they need to succeed and helping our local businesses find the talent they’re looking for. I encourage everyone to come out, take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen our local economy,” said Grant.

“Our jobs fair offers community members a chance to take charge of their future and build a better life,” said Sanalitro. “Whether you’re a skilled worker looking to level up or someone ready to dive into a new career, this fair is for you.
