Find A Job In Norman THIS Wednesday!

Those of us who live in Norman know how cool our beloved city is. However, most of us have to drive to Oklahoma City for work.

Bummer. Now, perhaps, you could do something about that.

Moore-Norman Vo-Tech is holding a "Job Fair" on Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and there will be almost 40 employers there for on-the-spot interviews. There's no guarantee, of course, that the jobs would be in Norman, but let's take the current economic situation into account.

Perhaps you're LOOKING for work, needing work. Check out this list of potential employers. This year's fair will include a booth for job seekers to receive immediate feedback.

I'm sure individuals have had very bad things happen because of the recession, and things could get worse at any time. But it looks like if you want a place to ride out tough times, Norman's a pretty good home base.
