Date: This Saturday, November 14, 2009
Time: From 10 AM to 1 PM
Location: The Council Office Building, 100 Maryland Avenue.

The event will provide tips for a traditional job search but it will also cover other avenues to obtaining work such as volunteering or starting your own business. You can attend one or all of the seminars, so you don’t need to stay the whole time. Information will be available at the presenters’ booths throughout the Fair.
