Help wanted signs still out in Salina

DARRIN STINEMAN
Help is wanted all over Salina.
That was the driving force behind Wednesday’s KansasWorks Spring Job Festival at the National Guard Armory, 1127 Armory Road.
“We’ve done an annual fall employment expo for 19 years,” said Phyllis Anderson, director of community resource development at OCCK, “and people have mentioned in the past that maybe we ought to think about doing something in the springtime, too. But this time, the calls were a lot louder and more persistent. They really need people, and they really need people now.”
In short order, 32 businesses were assembled for the job fair, which was from 3 to 7 p.m. and featured the KansasWorks Mobile Center, a recreational vehicle equipped with computer work stations for job-seekers to update their resumes and search online job listings.
