GEORGETOWN, Del. – The Delmarva Job Fair brought hundreds of job seekers to Delaware Technical Community College on Thursday, offering a chance to connect with potential employers in person.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., dozens of local businesses set up booths, looking to fill positions in industries ranging from health care and construction to the military.
For many attendees, the fair provided a more personal way to explore career opportunities. William Picket, one of the job seekers, said he appreciated the face-to-face interaction.
Dawn Kenton, a job seeker at the fair, said the in-person process is much better.
“It’s so impersonal to do it online. I think this is a much better way to talk to everybody—to get more communication between these businesses, to let them know who you are and what you’re looking for,” Kenton said.
