Written statements from organizers

“While we continue to fight for legislative solutions to improve Illinois’ jobs climate, we also support local events like this one that help match qualified candidates with dozens of employers,” stated Senator Radogno, representing the 41st Legislative District in Cook, DuPage, and Will counties. “The goal of this event is to provide businesses and potential employees with accessible and ample resources to assist in the job search process.”

“The rate of unemployment in Illinois continues to lag behind the nation. Our Jobs Fair is an opportunity to pair people who want to work with jobs that suit their skill sets,” said House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, representing the 82nd District. “I would encourage all people who are in search of sustainable employment to update their resumes and to come dressed to interview at this jobs fair.”

“Unemployment rates remain unacceptably high in Illinois and we need to be doing everything we can to put people back to work,” said recently appointed State Representative David Olsen, representing the 81st District that serves a portion of Naperville. “By bringing together more than 90 employers who are actively looking to hire good employees, those seeking jobs can maximize the efficiency of their job search.”
