Public Works hosted a job fair this week. Here’s what happened and where they will be recruiting next

The City’s Department of Public Works this week hosted a job fair at Sac State, promoting several open full-time and part-time positions.

Dozens of attendees stopped by the University Union Building to talk with Department staff from all seven divisions and learn more about the critical services Public Works provides. The fair was open to both Sac State students and the general public.

“We were excited to share the available job opportunities with the public,” said Cicely Garnett, support services manager for the Department. “Having our subject matter experts present to answer specific job-related questions was very beneficial.”

Laptops were available for attendees to create accounts on the GovernmentJobs.com website and to sign-up for alerts from the City’s Department of Human Resources to receive new job announcements that match their criteria and interests.
