| Hundreds of job seekers attend 2010 Career Expo - Democrat and Chronicle Posted: 16 Apr 2010 01:58 AM PDT Suits and sweaty palms took over the DoubleTree Hotel Thursday. More than 25 companies staffed booths and hoped to fill hundreds of jobs at the packed 2010 Career Expo in Henrietta sponsored by Careerbuilder.com and the Democrat and Chronicle Media Group. The free event attracted a wide variety of job seekers, including a large number of young professionals. Paychex, the University of Rochester, First Niagara Bank and the city of Rochester were just a few of the organizations that drew long lines of anxious job seekers armed with résumés and firm handshakes. Organizers expected more than 3,500 people, similar to the number of attendees at last year's event. Many of the job seekers in attendance were casualties of layoffs, like Emmanuel Hernandez. "I'm looking for an opportunity to better myself and trying to find something to secure myself and my family," said the 26-year-old Rochester resident. Pam Twyer, an engineer who's been unemployed for more than a year, said she came with the hopes of finding any position — even if it's outside her realm of expertise. "I've heard a lot of people telling me I'm under qualified or over qualified, and having someone say you're over qualified hurts the most because you work so hard to get your degree and get experience," said the 30-year-old Rochester resident. Employers had anywhere from three to hundreds of open positions to fill — all in different aspects of the company. Continental School of Beauty has five to six open positions to fill, and not all of them require cosmetology experience. "There are opportunities here that are more than just cutting hair," said spa coordinator Betty Vieira. Vieira said they also hope to attract people looking for a second career or searching for a new career path altogether. Some companies, like Brown & Brown Insurance are navigating the large pool of candidates for just the three to four open positions they have. "Because of the economy, the market has switched, and employers have to sort through candidates and make sure we do our due diligence to pick out the best," said Kate Dayton, employee benefits account manager. Even recent college grads were looking to increase their chances of finding a job. Mark Czelusniak, who graduated from the University at Buffalo last year, is searching for a video editing job. And he'd like to stay in Rochester. "Right now it's about meeting people in order to network," said the 23-year-old Spencerport resident. "That's what's going to help me find a job."

| Seeking a career, not just a job - NWI.com Posted: 15 Apr 2010 09:33 PM PDT More than 600 job-seekers walked through the doors of Wicker Memorial Park Social Center Thursday for the fourth annual North Township Job Fair hosted by North Township Trustee Frank J. Mrvan and state Sen. Frank Mrvan Jr. "We had over 500 people in just the first two hours," said Cindy Rivera, North Township resource educator and employment coordinator. Like the majority of job fairs in today's economy, Rivera said it's been hard to get vendors. The first year they hosted a job fair the township welcomed 50 companies, while Thursday there were 29 present. Nevertheless, Rivera said the township wants to remain visible in the community and "let them know we're here for them. "As far as the community, this is a good thing to offer," she said. WorkOne Business Service Representative James Morgin was pleased with the turnout and said more people seem to be looking for a career as opposed to "just a job." "It's a tough job market, but it's turning around," he said. "It's not all doom and gloom. A lot of smaller companies are still looking for quality people." The township job fair was the first for Cedar Lake resident Melissa Verdin, who has been unemployed since she left her job to care for her husband, an Iraq war veteran. Circumstances now allow her to return to the job market, but Verdin said she walked into the fair "a little nervous. "But you just have to put yourself out there," she said. "I think companies want a people person, and I really like helping people." Fellow attendee Mark York of Highland has been doing temporary paralegal work in Chicago since he was injured in a car accident three years ago. York, 48, worked for a law firm in Chicago but said his position was gone following his recovery. "I have no choice but to remain positive," he said. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
