| Hundreds Attend Job Search Party Posted: 26 Aug 2010 07:36 PM PDT
Hundreds Attend Job Search PartyMARION -- Cliff Dillard of Marion needs a job. The former coal miner says the job search has been dismal. He hoped to be able to make a good impression with the dozens of employers at the WSIL Job Search Party Thursday night at Black Diamond Harley Davidson in Marion."Try and sell myself on the fact that I have experience, I've been in management for 20 plus years," said Dillard, "I've got a degree in computer networking, I've done everything from construction to supervisory positions underground and on the surface at coal mines." With more than a thousand people in attendance at the first ever event and many more out of work, employers can be picky about who they hire. So you have to make yourself stand out. "My advice would be just be honest, straight forward with your experience that you have and you'll be a lot more appealing," said Jerry Parker with D & C Heating and Cooling, which was hoping to fill two jobs at the party. Gail Lannom with the Southern Illinois Personnel Managers Association found some possible candidates for her clients. Having so many people in attendance sure helps. "It's just a wonderful thing cause you're not getting these kind of people walking through your front door looking for work," said Lannom. With live music and free food the party was a chance for job seekers to be more laid back. But for Rose Poole of Tunnel Hill the job search is serious. "Anything that'll help me pay bills, it's hard in this world with only a 20 hour a week job, not gonna cut it," said Poole. Most of the job seekers will have to fill out an application in person but the party was definitely a good start for many of them.
