The annual Hays has Jobs Job Fair returns to the Mall in Hays this week.

Ernee Sly of the Ellis County Coalition for Economic Development said there are 35 businesses set up for Thursday’s event.

The jobs range from full-time professional to part-time hourly positions.

According to Sly, the job fair is a good opportunity to meet with businesses that are currently looking to hire new employees.

Job seekers will “possibly interview right there on the spot,” she said, adding applications also will be available.

Sly said people attending the job fair should “dress for success.”

The job fair is Thursday at the south end of the Mall in Hays from 3 to 6 p.m.
