Finding the right job can be challenging, but on March 25 at Pacific Clinics’ Via Wellness and Recovery Center in South Pasadena, nearly 100 job seekers had the chance to explore new opportunities and receive guidance at Pacific Clinics’ career and resource fair. Hosted by our Employment Services team, with 19 vendors and potential employers in attendance, the event provided a vital bridge between job seekers and businesses eager to train and hire.
The participating employers represented a range of industries, from health care to retail, ensuring attendees had access to diverse career pathways.
During the event, job seekers had the opportunity to meet recruiters, learn about open positions and participate in resume-writing workshops and mock interviews, making it a practical and results-driven experience.
For many, the fair was more than just a job search; it was a moment of empowerment. One participant shared, “I left feeling hopeful and motivated. Speaking with employers and meeting with the Pacific Clinics team made the biggest difference in my confidence.”
