With Reno's unemployment rate an alarming 11 percent, I want to share some information on a couple of events that may help job-seekers.

First, according to the Reno Gazette Journal's Web site, today (March 10) FedEx Kinkos is offering to copy your resume for free. Link to RGJ.com for locations.

Additionally, today a job fair is being announced -- and it appears hundreds are already making plans to attend. National Careers says it is holding a Career Fair March 20 at the Grand Sierra Resort from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. According to National Careers, 559 people have registered.

National Careers sent me this list of companies/organizations that are looking to hire:

Avon

Career College of Northern Nevada

COUNTRY Financial

Edward Jones

Gentiva Health Services

Nevada Army National Guard

Rite of Passage

Sierra Nevada College

STS Staffing

U.S. Border Patrol

US Navy

Wells Fargo Financial

If you may know of any organizations that are hiring or helping job-seekers, by all means, add a comment to this blog. Here at KOLO-8 we want to keep you informed about the state of the economy, but also provide as much information as possible to help you weather the storm.
