TODAY The Gazette’s Jobsfair 2014 takes centre stage at The Anvil.

The free event runs from 10am to 3pm.

Several leading companies and organisations will be exhibiting at the Jobsfair, including Basingstoke College of Technology, Nurse Plus, Capricorn Automotive, Prestige Nursing, Allied Healthcare Hammer PLC, Sentinel Housing, Abicare, Mencap, Somerset care, plus representatives from the Army and the RAF The National Careers Service and Jobcentre Plus.

As well as exhibition stands, also on offer will be free seminars and one-to-one advice clinics.

Gazette Newspapers advertising manager Tessa Reid said: “The Jobsfair will be a great opportunity for those either looking to get on the job ladder, change their job, or have a change in their career.

“And it is especially aimed at young people who are maybe coming up to finishing their college or university courses.

“This is an ideal opportunity to find out what sort of companies we have locally and what opportunities there are – all in one place.

“Jobseekers will have a chance to meet people from different companies and find out what they do and offer.”
