You can interview your potential employer before applying for a high-paying job while getting tips and tricks on how to land and keep it at Thursday’s “reverse job fair” in Port Charlotte.

The Charlotte DeSoto Building Industry Association will hold the fair July 29 at 3 p.m. at the CDBIA Office at 17984 Toledo Blade Blvd.

Job seekers can listen to companies talk about current openings and how to grow in an office position, as a laborer and as management. CDBIA will even make resume copies for those without a printer.

All you have to do is show up ready. Make sure to reserve your spot by registering on the CDBIA website.
