BmoreJobs.com Helps Local Job Seekers Find Work at Baltimore's Showcase Career Expo

This Showcase Career Expo will take place on Thursday, March 18, 2010 from 11:00am to 3:00pm at the Sheraton Baltimore North Hotel in Towson.

Twenty local companies will be hiring at the job fair. Positions will be offered in a variety of disciplines including accounting, customer service, technology and sales. This event is FREE for job seekers.

Recruiting professionals from the DAP Products and the State of Maryland will be exhibiting at the career expo, along with Tritech, Vector Security, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and other leading companies.

Despite the lingering recession, Greater Baltimore's economy continues to hold its own, according to data compiled and released by the Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore in February 2010. When compared to the 25 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S., Greater Baltimore had the third lowest unemployment rate - 5.4% - and saw an employment decline of just 0.2%, the seventh smallest drop nationally.

"Even though we are seeing a relatively low unemployment rate in the region, we still have locals who are in search of work. The good news there, too, is that the area ranks 3rd nationally for the number of job postings per unemployed person," said Shannon Landwehr, Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore. "The jobs are here and we're seeing them in several industries - from health care to high-tech IT jobs in cybersecurity and engineering. The employment outlook in our region remains positive."

Job fairs such as the Showcase Career Expo are critical to the local economy and job growth. BmoreJobs.com's local job fair events reintroduce a "human" element into what has too often become an impersonal online recruiting process.

"This Expo makes it possible for local employers to find qualified, available, local job seekers with a personal and professional approach," said Mark Babbitt, CEO of BmoreJobs.com.
