BAILEY THE BUSINESS BUDDY RETURNS
|
|
The pandemic has changed recruiting, but the workforce system is still here to help you find the talent that you need! We’re partnering for a Drive-thru Job Fair in Eau Claire on July 15 as part of a statewide, unified approach to let job seekers know that there is still opportunity available in their local area!
How will the fair work and how can you participate?
•If you have available positions, you will need to provide 300 one-page recruitment flyers for your company. Your one-page document can be printed on both sides at 8.5x11” or a smaller size; however, only one page per company!
What should you include? Here are some suggestions:
•Company name, location, logo, etc.
•Available position(s)
•How to apply
•Details about company benefits and/or wages
•What makes your company special, what is the service or product you provide?
•Include your Equal Opportunity statement
•Contact information if a job seeker would like to reach out to your company (email, phone or both)

Join us as we celebrate Soulift LLC at their ribbon cutting at 503 Broadway South in Menomonie on July 27 at 12:00 p.m. (please bring and wear your face mask).
Soulift fitness boutique (Souliftfit.com) provides a unique fitness venue and shopping to Menomonie like no other. This new fitness and shopping concept with the tagline of ‘fuels your fitness and friendships,’ first opened its doors in January, closed during the state’s required COVID shutdown, and opened again in mid-May with temporary reduced hours six days per week, Monday through Saturday. The business is in a beautiful and inspiring space at 503 Broadway South with a parking lot, colorful ceiling sails, and three private fitness studios having an open feel, plenty of social distancing space, and fitness class equipment that is checked out and cleaned for each use.
