Governor’s Job Fair Network of Mississippi at MDES
The Governor’s Job Fair Network of Mississippi provides many opportunities for both employers and job seekers throughout our state by creating the environment which facilitates the hiring process. The job fairs are one day events and free to those seeking employment. The Job Fairs are distinguished from a career day in that job placement rather than career exploration is the main objective and expected outcome.
