“We continue these micro hiring events over our 9-county region, so residents have an excellent way to meet a large number of potential employers at one time,” said Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama COO and West AlabamaWorks! Executive Director Donny Jones. “These fairs not only provide employment opportunities, but also provide a network for career exploration and professional development,” said Jones.
