The Chickasaw Nation will host the 13th annual Ada Area Job Fair 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, at the Pontotoc County Agri-Plex, 1700 N. Broadway, in Ada.

At previous Ada Area Job Fairs, more than 50 employers have sought workers with varying levels of skills and experience in a variety of fields including graphic design, communications, health care, finance, retail, transportation, customer service, distribution, mechanical, food services, construction, manufacturing, oil field, industrial maintenance and more.

This event is open to the public. Prior registration is not needed for job-seekers. Private rooms will be available for employers who wish to interview on-site.

"We ask that job-seekers bring plenty of error free résumés and dress for success," said Darrell Walker, manager of Chickasaw Nation career services department. "There will be many businesses that will want to do interviews on the spot."

Major employers that have preregistered for the Ada Area Job Fair include: The Chickasaw Nation, Dollar General Stores, Pontotoc County Department of Human Services, Arbuckle Truck Driving and Sulphur Veterans Center.

"The Ada Area Job Fair allows job-seekers a chance to talk with several different companies at one place," explained Walker. "It also gives employers a chance to hire qualified people and build their applicant pool if they will be hiring in the near future."
