Nanaimo job seekers finding new careers, or new ideas during large career fair
NANAIMO — A new start or a better career were some of the draws at a large job fair.
Job seekers flocked to Country Club Centre in Nanaimo on Thursday, Aug. 24, with almost 50 vendors set up in the main hallway. Career options ranged from the military and police to construction, cosmetics and everything in between.
Attendees who were freshly out of high school to those nearing retirement age looked for their first job, a second job, or something to keep them occupied during their golden years.
Nanaimo residents James and Riley, both in their early 20’s, were in attendance “looking for new opportunities.”
