City to hold Career Fair Jan. 29
Public can learn about various job opportunities
The City of Yuma will host a Career Fair between 10 a.m. and noon Monday, Jan. 29, in the East Wing of the Yuma Civic Center, 1440 W. Desert Hills Drive.
This open house is for both current job seekers and those interested in learning about the wide variety of possible careers available throughout the city organization.
Members of the public can visit booths from each city department to learn about the various positions they have. Participants will learn about the requirements for each position, possible promotional opportunities within the department, and how to apply for jobs with the city.
Human Resources Department representatives will be available to answer any questions visitors may have about applying for city positions and will have a list of current openings that includes job titles, compensation and minimum requirements.
Visitors do not have to be present for the entire duration of the event.
“A lot of times we find that people aren’t aware of the wide variety of jobs available within the city organization,” said Director of Human Resources Monica Welch. “Between the fast-paced Fire Department, the always-in-demand water treatment operators, the ever-important Police Department, the specialized skills of various positions within Public Works or the engineers, attorneys, accountants, IT specialists and wide variety of offerings from Parks and Recreation, we have many career paths covering a vast range of skill sets. We encourage residents to come to our Career Fair to learn more.”
