Multiple Government Agencies Partner for First-Ever Event

If you’re interested in making a career change, you may want to visit a first-of-its-kind government job fair on Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Clark County Government Center.

The job fair will feature representatives from multiple government agencies and will be held in the rotunda area of the Clark County Government Center , 500. S. Grand Central Pkwy. in downtown Las Vegas . Participating sponsors include Clark County , the cities of Las Vegas and North Las Vegas , Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Southern Nevada Health District, Regional Transportation Commission, the Nevada Department of Public Safety and the University of Nevada , Las Vegas.

Computers will be available at the event to allow job seekers an on-site opportunity to complete applications online for posted positions with the various agencies represented at the job fair. The Government Center also has free wireless access to the Internet for individuals desiring to bring a personal laptop computer. Informational sessions on topics such as the application process, employment testing, and interviewing will be held at scheduled intervals throughout the day in conference rooms located on the first floor of the Government Center.  A Web site has been developed at www.LasVegasGovJobs.com to provide general information and updates on the upcoming Government Job Fair and to allow job seekers to pre-register to attend the event.

“This is the first time local government agencies have come together under one roof to host a career fair dedicated solely to government jobs,” said Jesse Hoskins, director of Clark County Human Resources. “Many people don’t realize the myriad of job opportunities and career paths available in government from engineers to social workers, and our benefits packages are competitive with private sector employers, often even better.”

Clark County , in particular, conducts regular recruitments for professionals with college degrees and/or licensing in the following fields: architecture, structural engineering, building inspection, social work, recreation, computer technology, city, regional or urban planning, accounting, auditing and financial analysis, law and law enforcement, family services, property appraisal, management and others.  In addition, Human Resources has developed a free community outreach program, and invites prospective applicants to attend one of its monthly seminars to learn more about Clark County’s electronic application system, NEOGOV, and their recruitment and selection processes. More information about careers with Clark County is available via the Human Resource Department’s job information hotline: 455-3174, and online at www.accessclarkcounty.com.
