Job seekers 50-and-older could benefit from a free virtual job fair from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19, that will be designed specifically for them. Age-Friendly employers are also being sought to participate in the event, which is being co-sponsored by the Montgomery County Government and the Jewish Council for the Aging of Greater Washington (JCA).
To learn more about the job fair, and to register to participate, go to VirtualExpos.AccessJCA.org. Participants can join the Expo, exit and rejoin the Expo as their schedule permits.
The event will start with two morning workshops created for people 50-and-older seeking new positions. The first workshop will focus on “Identifying and Responding to Ageism (during or after the interview).” The second workshop will explore “The Language of Self Employment and the Tax Implications of Self-Employment.”
From noon to 2:15 p.m., guest speakers will include representatives from area employers with openings. They will answer (live) questions in Chat. When their allotted presentation and question-and-answer session is over, they will join Chat to answer additional questions. When they are in Chat, they respond directly to the person who asked the question.
