If you are looking for a job, you can drop off your resumé at the ACS Employment Readi-ness Program booth. “This is a great oppor-tunity to meet employers face-to-face. This gives job seekers a chance to discuss cur-rent and future jobs postings. Additionally, they can hear about the details of a position that aren’t always available in a vacancy an-nouncement. It is really to their advantage to submit a resume to the potential em-ployer that has exactly what the employer is looking for. This type of networking is invaluable when you seeking employment,” says Thompson.
