Central Florida Virtual Job Fair

Are you searching for a job in Central Florida? If so you may be interested in the upcoming Central Florida virtual job fair that is scheduled to be held from January 11-15, 2010.

I came across this information while visiting the State of Florida, Agency for Workforce Innovation. Right now the site is seeking employers to post their job openings and sign up for a virtual booth. Job seekers are encouraged to revisit the site on Monday January 11. The virtual job fair will allow interested persons to view available jobs 24/7 and post resumes. With the unemployment rate over 11% and the ease and convenience of attending this job fair, the turnout should be high.

Employ Florida Marketplace - Job Search

Search for a home

While searching for information on Florida I came across a Florida website designed to connect employers with employees. According to a message from Florida Governor Charlie Crist, the website Employ Florida Marketplace purpose is: "Florida's official online portal to virtual job-matching services."

You have an option of registering or viewing the content the site provides as a guest. As a guest I was able to access pages that dealt with career tips, pages to help me determine the career I am best suited for and the ability to analyze the current labor market trends.

The site also offers a job search feature. I tested this out by searching available job postings in Orange County. I searched for jobs that paid at least $25,000 a year and the search returned 341 available jobs posted within the last 7 days. The types of available jobs included; computer support specialists, licensed plumber, dance instructor, dental receptionist, accountant, lawn technician, restaurant work, electrician, sales help and housekeeping.

You can post your resume on the site and have the virtual recruiter notify you when jobs matching your criteria are posted. Take a look at the Employ Florida Marketplace site if you are an employer seeking workers or if you are in need of a job or career change.
