Orland Township’s Fall Job Fair a Success

The Township’s annual event showcased nearly 40 companies.

More than 100 individuals showed up in their best business casual attire, with resumes in hand, hoping to ‘fall’ into a new job at Orland Township’s Fall Job Fair.

A variety of industries were represented by nearly 40 companies in attendance. Those seeking employment were able to network with both local and national representatives, and discussed employment possibilities with companies in healthcare, financial, manufacturing, transportation and retail.

Orland Township Supervisor Paul O’Grady attended the event himself in order to thank the company representatives attending and wish those seeking employment good luck in their endeavors.

“We’re lucky to have a variety of industries available in the area, so our attendees had plenty of opportunities to learn about,” said O’Grady.

“I would like to thank all of the company representatives who showed up today; I know for a fact that our attendees left here with more hopeful employment opportunities than they ever expected. The event wouldn’t have been a success without them!”

Orland Township’s Fall Job Fair was held on Thursday, Oct. 11 at the Orland Township Activity Center, 14807 S. Ravinia Ave., Orland Park.
