THE Army is the latest recruit to a jobs’ fair, to be held at Basildon Library on February 28.

Organiser Andy Marriott, of the 11Ten Group, said: “This follows a previous very successful fair we held last year. The line-up of firms and organisations with stands, of which the Army is the latest to sign up, suggests this may be an even bigger event.”

Organisations lined up so far include Essex Country Council, Seevic College, AVON, Lightbulb Centre, Reed Family Programme, Caremark, Central Training group, Utility Warehouse, Seetec, Estuary housing Association and Guardian Homecare.

Andy said: “As well as the employers and training providers, my team will be on hand to give people advice and guidance on all aspects of seeking work, CV preparation and interview skills and in finding suitable training.”

The event will be held on February 28 between 10am and 4pm at Basildon Library, St Martins Square, Basildon.
