Pacific Werribee shopping centre is helping its retail tenants urgently fill their Christmas casual positions by hosting a job fair.
The inaugural fair will showcase more than 50 jobs – including full time, part-time and casual roles – at retailers including Specsavers, Sportsco and Grill'd.
In partnership with Jobs Victoria, The Huddle, Wyndham Opportunity Network and the Wyndham Community & Education Centre, the Jobs Fair will not only connect local people with a range of local jobs, but will also provide jobseekers with access to a suite of virtual and on-site workshops and mentoring sessions.
Candidates will be able to develop résumé writing stills, learn interview techniques, explore job search services and better understand how to build their personal brand.
Pacific Werribee GM Ryan Ling said the launch of the Jobs Fair comes at a critical time for the centre's retailers.
"Christmas is one of the busiest periods for our retailers and we know they have a significant number of urgent vacancies to fill.
"By hosting the Jobs Fair here at Pacific Werribee, we are able to provide a local platform where jobseekers can easily connect with prospective employers," he said.
The Fair runs from today November 9 to Thursday November 11, with the mentoring and workshops taking place today and interviews being conducted tomorrow and Thursday.
COVID-Safe measures will be in place throughout the Fair.
