More than 220 job seekers exchanged 533 applications and resumes Wednesday with 35 employers from Carson Valley, Carson City and Stateline at a job fair in Gardnerville hosted by Nevada JobConnect and Douglas County Social Services.
Many job seekers were scheduled for second interviews over the next week, but around 20 were hired on the spot, said Kyle Casci, business services representative of the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation.
Among the fields represented were food, beverage and gaming; manufacturing, health care, grocery stores, state employment, county employment, parks and recreation, and construction companies hiring for landscaping and electrical work.
