Get a Job

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

The whining by individuals who feel a need to be on unemployment in perpetuity gets real old real quick.   So in an effort to help promote job growth, I am using this blog space to help promote U.S. Senator Dan Coats’ job fair next week.

It’s Lafayette, but worth the drive.  There will be more than 100 employers looking to fill nearly 3,800 positions.   The list includes  CSX Railroad, Community Health Network, the Indiana State Police, Frito-Lay, Nanshan America Advanced Aluminum Technologies, Oerlikon Fairfield, Purdue University, RR Donnelly, Rolls-Royce, the State of Indiana, Valeo and Wabash National.

A full list of employers participating in the Job Fair is available here: http://www.coats.senate.gov/employersat2012hoosierjobfair.

Here are the details…

Wednesday, May 30, 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET
Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds West Pavilion, 1401 Teal Road, Lafayette

Don’t tell me there’s no work out there, there is.  The question is do people have the skills and the work ethic necessary to get the job done?
