SOUTHFIELD – Michigan’s best hiring event for engineering and technical talent is just two weeks away. The Engineering Society of Detroit’s annual Fall Engineering & Technology Job Fair is scheduled for Nov. 16 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi.
For job seekers, the Job Fair promises hundreds of openings in all forms of engineering — biomedical, chemical, civil, computer, design, electrical, electronic, environmental and mechanical — along with career opportunities in information technology, software, cybersecurity, defense, finance, human resources, manufacturing, sales, marketing and more. More than 1,300 jobs will be available from the 42 employers signed up so far, and more employers are signing up every day.
Attending the Job Fair as a jobseeker is free for individual ESD members. Nonmembers pay $20, which includes a one-year membership to ESD. (This offer is good for new, first-time members only.) More at www.esd.org.
Job seekers are also encouraged to enter their resumes into the ESD Job Bank, http://jobs.esd.org, free of charge. Recognized as the premier recruitment resource for the industry, the Job Bank provides confidential resume posting and is easy to use. Simply add your resume online by visiting jobs.esd.org and created a password-protected account to manage your job search. A Job Bank enrollment center will also be available at the job fair to help job seekers input resumes on-site.
For employers, ESD is offering a Recruitment Booth Package for $395 for ESD members ($495 for nonmembers). It includes an 8-by-10-foot exhibit space with a 6-foot skirted and draped display table and two chairs; online promotion and a company description on the ESD website, http://www.esd.org; advertising to Michigan colleges and universities within 150 miles of metro Detroit; food and beverage certificates for up to five representatives per booth; a company listing with desired areas of interest in the on-site handout guide provided to all attendees; and a free posting on the ESD Job Bank website, a $250 value.
