The Mayor's Inaugural Job Fair was held today outside City Hall. It seemed slow going when we arrived, but we were told that a lot of people had been there throughout the day. The most popular thing was working for the Census Bureau, they seemed to be hiring on the spot. People had to fill in a 28-question form under the tent, and then they were moved on to the next step.
One booth was taking free photos for job resumes. Do resumes require photos now? Doesn't seem quite right, at least they were free. One booth was selling computers and courses on how to find a job. Another had a resume service.
So it seems as if a few of these companies involved perhaps did not get the concept that people were looking for jobs, and not looking for ways to spend money.
But it was a good start and a nice way to help the people of Miami with job searches.
Resumes do not require photos in the US, its a recipe for a discrimination lawsuit. Thats a Latin America thing and maybe from some other countries. Kinda makes you think whats going on in our Majors head... or lack of..
ReplyDeleteIts Mayor; not Major.
ReplyDeleteSecondly these were companies invited to come in and do those services. Its a good start. Good job to everyone involved.
I wish I had known about this ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteGood idea bringing in the Census. The more Census workers the more people counted the more people counted the more federal money we get. Its a win win!
ReplyDeleteThe RealEdwin, you did not miss anything. I passed the Census and was a worker test and they told me I should take it again. makes no sense. It was not informative at all and I agree about the picture with resumes. I never heard about that before. I did not take one. It seemed like this fair was just for an accurate count of who still needed work. The state attorney's office was not there like stated on flyers. It was a BUST
