Yikes! I just heard that the unemployment rate in the Yakima area is getting higher! This is according to recent data pulled from the June report from the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor and Statistics.

If you are one of those job seekers looking for seasonal, part-time, or full-time work, you may want to check out the job fair at Valley Mall in Union Gap, WA. According to the Valley Mall's Facebook page, employers such as Bath & Body Works, AT&T, Gap Factory Store, Ulta, Auntie Anne's, Kohl's, Orange Julius, and more are looking to hire!

What: Job Fair
Where: Valley Mall, Union Gap, 2529 Main St, CENTER COURT
When: 1PM-6PM
Bring: Your professional resume and a great attitude!
What To Wear: Business professional clothing requested.

I think one of these jobs would be perfect for a teen looking for their first summer job, college students needing a few extra bucks to buy a car or help pay for tuition, stay-at-home moms who want to work outside the home for a few hours while the kids are in school, or just for any number of reasons.

If you do attend the job fair, I highly recommend that you dress to impress (i.e. don't show up in sweats or flip flops!), come with your professional-looking resume (click here for free templates [Word 2010] [Mac] that I found on the internet), and have your interview question answers ready to roll off your tongue (check this site out for some great tips)!

Good luck!
