21 Employers To Recruit at The Oklahoman Transportation Career Fair

Leave a comment

Companies looking for drivers, mechanics and dispatchers.

Oklahoma City, OK, USA (October 15, 2014) — On Saturday October 18, 2014 The Oklahoman Newspaper will be holding its first ever Transportation Career Fair with twenty one top employers in attendance recruiting for drivers, mechanics and dispatchers. The transportation industry has more than 300,000 opportunities available in the US today. Oklahoma City is a major transportation hub.

Nancy Simoneau is the event coordinator. “This is such an exciting career opportunity. We have some of the biggest names in the industry exhibiting. Stevens Trucking for example is one of the top companies that offers paid training for Drivers. These employers are looking for local, regional and OTR Drivers as well as Owner Operators. This is a great opportunity to come and talk to multiple recruiters in one setting,” she said.

Forbe’s Magazine recently reported that the transportation industry represents the greatest employment opportunity in the country today and salaries have never been higher.

“It is a common misconception that jobs in this industry are tough to get and all driving jobs are OTR or long haul. While there are a number of good positions in the OTR category and many candidates find that appealing, there are also just as many local driving jobs and positions in support services,” noted Sela Rodriguez, Vice-President at USTruckerjobs.com, a sponsor of the event.

The Career Fair will be held at the Plaza Mayor at the Crossroads of I 35 and I 240 in Oklahoma City from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

Actyl Group Makes Third Trip to Belize to Recruit Workers

Leave a comment

Company seeks to find workers to fill western Canada labor shortage.

Regina, SK, Canada (April 3, 2013) — Actyl Group, a leading international recruiting firm, will once again return to Belize in an effort to find more skilled workers to fill the current labor shortage in western Canada.

During the trip, which will be the company’s third in just four months, Actyl Group representatives will interview people trained in a number of areas. The company is looking for people to fill key positions throughout the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, and plans on making nearly 100 new job offers in April alone.

“We have had great success finding outstanding workers in Belize since we started recruiting in this area, but Saskatchewan, Alberta and the rest of the Western Canada region continue to see major labor shortages,” said Adrian Schulz of Actyl Group. “The people we have met on our trips so far have been exceptional candidates, with great English, from hospitality to skilled trades. We look forward to meeting more potential workers as we again head to Central America.”

As a result of its previous trips to Belize, the Actyl Group made more than 70 job offers, with many of these candidates already about to start their new lives. “It is such an honor to be selected by an Employer in Canada – it will be an adventure. I very much appreciate Actyl for helping me get this opportunity and for supporting me every step of the way” says candidate Stacy Ramos of Belize. Western Canada’s labor shortage stems from the fact that the region experienced slow economic growth until about 2007, and many of its young people left for opportunities in other parts of the country. Over the past five years, however, the region has seen a tremendous amount of economic growth, spurring the need to bring in more workers to fill critical positions.

During its April trip, Actyl Group will particularly be looking for welders, heavy-duty mechanics, ironworkers, sheet metal workers, fabricators, machinists, geomembrane installers, commercial steel framers, flat roofers, small engine repair specialists, automotive technicians and plasterers. One employer also featured will be franchised McDonald’s Restaurants, which was recently named one of Canada’s Top 5 Best Employers for the ninth time.

“There are numerous top employers looking for workers who will bring a great work ethic and dependable skills to these positions, and we haven’t been let down yet when meeting with candidates in Belize,” said Schulz. “If you would like to explore the opportunities provided by western Canada’s recent economic growth, we invite you to meet with our team.”

Actyl Group will be at 19 Barbados Street in the City of Belmopan April 8-11, 2013, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The sessions are free, and potential candidates should bring a copy of their resumes, passports and any diplomas or certificates. To learn more, visit http://www.actyl.com/belize.

Aviation Job Firm Celebrates 10 Years of On-line Job Placement Worldwide

Leave a comment

Online aviation job posting service, AviaNation.com, is celebrating 10 years of providing job offers for aviation applicants around the world. Providing both free and paid services, applicants communicate directly with the employers and recruiters.

Delray Beach, FL, February 28, 2013 — AviaNation.com, the premier job posting site for aviation jobs around the US and the World celebrates their 10 year anniversary in aviation job placement.

Formed in 2003, AviaNation (http://www.AviaNation.com) now has over 4,000 registered employers who post their open positions and search the database of over 65,000 member applicants when looking to fill open vacancies.

Applicants are able to see the jobs as they are posted, and respond directly to the employer / recruiter with their resume or CV. AviaNation does not get in the middle of the applicant’s hiring process, nor do they take any salary when the applicant is accepted. AviaNation receives an average of 25 new job postings every day.

“We are unique in the industry, in that we have a worldwide database of jobs and applicants” says Tim Kirkwood, AviaNation’s Director of Member Companies, “When the recession caused the industry to slump in the US, AviaNation was able to offer positions in India and China, which were growing at that time”.

Now that the aviation industry in the US has recovered, AviaNation is poised to guide a new group of applicants to their future in the skies. AviaNation also reaches out to aviation students, as well as displaced or furloughed airline employees with their free resume-posting service, and their access to the AviaNation jobs pages. Interested applicants can see these current job offerings at http://www.AviaNation.com/student. “This is our way of giving back to the industry.” says Kirkwood, “If you’ve lost your job, it just seems wrong to require you to pay to find a new one at a time when every dollar counts.”

AviaNation is proud to be corporate sponsors of Women in Aviation (http://www.wai.org) and Women in Corporate Aviation (http://www.wca-intl.org), and members of the National Business Aircraft Association (http://www.nbaa.org). In March, AviaNation will be exhibiting at the Women In Aviation annual conference, this year being held in Nashville, TN.
