Apr. 3—WILKES-BARRE TWP. — Kerry Miscavage, Times Leader Media Group publisher, said the Times Leader has always taken the lead for hosting job fairs for Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Miscavage said this week's expo at the Mohegan Sun Arena concourse, is set for Tuesday, April 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
As a media property, Miscavage said the Times Leader has promoted the expo through a variety of organic and paid media outlets within the market:
—Daily newspaper ads.
—Timesleader.com high impact ads.
—Entercom and Cumulus radio.
—PA Live! And WBRE commercials.
—Paid social media and programmatic advertising.
—Targeted email blasts to local job seekers and more.
"This will be one of the largest spring career expos we have had in many years," Miscavage said. "The decrease in COVID cases has recruiters wanting to be face-to-face to local job seekers."
And, Miscavage said the job seekers are also ready to visit as well.
"We can see that in our pre-registration numbers," Miscavage said. "I've talked to many of the recruiters listed below and they are very excited to come to the expo and interact with other businesses and prospective job candidates. Some are ready to hire on-the-spot."
Miscavage said to make sure you check out the Recruitment advertising section in today's Times Leader.
