(Washington – February 7, 2012)    U.S. Representative Frank Guinta (R, NH-01) is hosting a job fair in Portsmouth later this month.  It will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 22nd at Great Bay Community College, 320 Corporate Drive in Portsmouth.

Representatives from more than 30 employers and organizations will talk with participants about employment options (see below for the list).  It is also an ideal chance for people who are underemployed, or who are considering a career change, to explore opportunities as well.

“The road back to employment is often long and hard,” Guinta explained.  “This job fair is a perfect opportunity to see what jobs are available, and which ones may be a good fit for job seekers.  Best of all, this fair personalizes the job application process by letting people meet face-to-face with employers.  It’s a great chance for job candidates to sell themselves and their skills.”    

This event is part of Rep. Guinta’s ongoing Getting Granite Staters Back to Work jobs initiative.  He hosted job fairs in Derry, Rochester and Manchester last year. You can learn more about Rep. Guinta's ongoing Getting Granite Staters Back to Work jobs initiative by clicking here.

The personal stories, information and other insight the Congressman has gathered from events such as the Portsmouth Job Fair and his Getting Granite Staters Back to Work initiative are vital to his legislative duties on Capitol Hill, too. In Washington, he has been actively voting for, sponsoring, and cosponsoring dozens of jobs related legsilation.
