The Missouri Job Center and the Springfield Cardinals are planning a massive hiring event for job seekers in the Springfield area, according to a press release.
From 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8, more than 60 employers will meet with prospective employees at the Cardinals Training Facility on East Trafficway Street for the “Hit It Out of the Park” hiring event.
“This is one of the largest multi-industry hiring events we’ve ever hosted, thanks to our partnership with the Springfield Cardinals,” said Ericka Schmeeckle, interim director of workforce development for the city of Springfield, in the release. “This event features employers from both the public and private sector in more than a dozen different industries.”
According to the release, job seekers should bring copies of their resume. They should also be prepared for potential on-site interviews. If individuals need help with interview-appropriate clothing or preparing for the event, the Missouri Job Center on East Sunshine Street has a free Career Closet. The resource is available to anyone searching for employment.
