The Commission Chambers, meeting rooms and halls of the Doña Ana County Government Center will be bustling on Friday, May 15, as job seekers have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with representatives of all county departments.
The all-day event also will feature workshops to assist applicants with the county’s online application process, and there will be sessions devoted to interviewing tips, county benefits and other critical information for applicants seeking to join the Doña Ana County team.
Drawings for door prizes will be held throughout the day during the event.
Special emphasis will focus on recruiting applicants to both the Doña Ana County Sheriff’s Department and the Doña Ana County Detention Center.
Food trucks will be set up in the parking lot, along with displays of county emergency-services equipment and technology resources. In addition, the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley will facilitate pet adoptions from an area on the north lawn.
“Doña Ana County is critically understaffed in some areas, and this job-information fair represents a concerted push by all departments to educate the job-seeking public about what positions we offer and the lengths to which we are willing to go to first recruit and subsequently retain the very best potential employees to our workforce,” said Doña Ana County Manager Julia T. Brown.
Brown said each department has created and printed tri-fold brochures that list the types of jobs available within their respective areas of public service. Even departments that currently have no openings will be represented, because the openings will inevitably occur at some point, Brown said.
Applicants are discouraged from bringing their children to the event, because day care will not be provided.
