The Southern Midcoast Maine Chamber is proud to be partnering with the Southern Midcoast CareerCenter to bring our first Fall Hiring & Sub Fair to Cook's Corner Mall in Brunswick October 12, sponsored by Mid Coast- Parkview Health. 

The event will run very similar to our spring event and will again be held at the Cook’s Corner Mall in Brunswick, in their indoor showcase area.  The event will again run from 10AM to 2PM and will have dozens of business on-hand looking to meet possible new employees and in some cases interviewing on the spot.  In the spring ,we had 61 booths, and over 340 attendees and we’re hoping for a similar turnout this time.  In the first 12 days of registration 43 businesses have already signed up.

One major change from our spring event is that it will also be a substitute teacher recruitment event.  Several local schools will have representatives on hand to meet perspective substitute teachers.  There is a dire need in the schools right now as the substitute teacher pool is very shallow.  What a great way for someone who is recently retired to get a few days of work per month, and to work when they want to work.  How about someone looking for just a few extra hours of work per week?  Substitute teaching can be a great way to supplement your income, and again it has the flexibility many people need.  Naturally, the Department of Education has certain requirements for their teachers, so there are a few more screening procedures to be done, but for those with a clean criminal background and a degree, this can be a wonderful supplemental opportunity.
