Meanwhile, California Sen. Andy Vidak, R-Hanford, is seeking employers interested in participating in the fourth annual Career and Resource Expo, which will be held 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the casino.

Vidak is co-sponsoring the event — which featured 85 employers last year — along with Coca-Cola and Tachi Palace.

That event will include career development workshops for people seeking work. Topics will include:

  •  Job interviewing
  •  Resume reviews, writing and online posting, along with discussion on the employers’ perspective
  •  Social networking and job search strategy
  •  Dressing for success

“With high unemployment in the Valley, my goal is to connect people looking for a job with employers who have current job openings,” Vidak said in a press release. “If you are an employer with jobs to fill, I hope you will attend this event.”

For more information on the Expo to if you’re an employer wishing to participate, call Claudia Salinas at Vidak’s Hanford district office at 585-7161 or email her at Claudia.Salinas@sen.ca.gov.
