DOVER, Del. – U.S. Senators Tom Carper and Chris Coons and U.S. Representative John Carney hosted their first job fair of the season at Wilmington University’s Dover Campus Monday matching more than 400 job seekers with nearly 30 business looking to fill full and part-time employment positions. This was the first of three job fairs to be hosted by the delegation this year.

Upcoming job fairs will be held at Delaware Technical Community College’s Stanton campus on Friday, April 10 from 12 to 4 p.m. and at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center on Monday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In addition to networking and interviewing with companies, job seekers attend job hunting workshops with the Brandywine Counseling & Community Services, where they polished their resumes and picked up interview techniques. This was the third straight year that the Kent County job fair has been partnered with the Brandywine Counseling & Community Services to provide these workshops for attendees. Guests also attended a lecture by life coach Joe White.

Since 2011, the Congressional Delegation has hosted 24 job fairs in Delaware, including five specifically for veterans.
