Congresswoman Terri Sewell was in town Aug. 4 for her 11th annual job fair at Wallace Community College.
The turnout was great, according to Sewell and those in attendance. A large crowd of people gathered in the Wallace College gym dressed for success and passing out resumes. Eighty employers representing 15 different industries were on hand, including automotive, restaurant and food management, transportation and construction, hospitality and retail, health services, utilities and telecommunications, manufacturing and production, and law enforcement.
On her Facebook page, Sewell reminded everyone to dress appropriately and be ready to interview. She emphasized the importance of bringing jobs to the area. Wallace College President Dr. James Mitchell said, “In order to improve the quality of life, jobs are very important. And if we can continue to grow economically that will be good for our area.” He and Sewell both said it was a great day for Selma.
