Janess Printing & Marketing was impressed with the November job fair that attracted more than 200 individuals.

Owner Mike Janess said his firm handed out 35 applications, and most job seekers had resumes.

Tim Mitchell, general manager of Fallon Auto Mall, said he spoke to many qualified applicants.

Rachel Dahl, executive director of CEDA, said attendees should come dressed to impress and bring their resumes. Once inside, the applicants then presented their resumes and talked to representatives from more than 20 businesses.

“All of the business attending will be available to answer question and some business will be conducting interviews on site,” Dahl said.
