Silver City, NM (November 10, 2011) Today, Congressman Steve Pearce hosted his third job fair of the year in Silver City. Approximately thirty employers were present, and well over three hundred prospective employees attended throughout the day. “It was exciting to be a part of bringing together employers and job seekers today” said Pearce. “Jobs and job growth have been my top priority in Congress, and today’s event was one more way to find jobs for people in New Mexico. Everywhere I go, I hear from people who tell me they need jobs. Today’s event was a great success, and I look forward to more like it in the future, in other regions of southern New Mexico.”
Congressman Pearce opened the job fair with a short presentation on the importance of jobs, and by cutting a ribbon to mark the opening of the job fair. He then spent much of the morning visiting with attendees and personally helping employers connect with job-seekers. In addition to the large number of employers present, job-seekers had opportunities to learn about résumé writing and job interview skills. Since returning to Congress in January, Mr. Pearce has made jobs his top priority, and he has stated that he is constantly on the lookout for new ways to help put New Mexicans to work. Congressman Pearce also hosted job fairs in Las Cruces and Roswell earlier this year.
