ORGANISERS of the Selby Jobs Fair have taken to Twitter to encourage residents and businesses to get involved.

The Twitter feed for this year’s event, which will be at Selby College on October 3 is @SelbyJF13. It has gone live with offers from local businesses, and more details on more than 200 jobs and apprenticeships available.

Nigel Adams, MP for Selby and Ainsty, said it was a great way to promote companies attending the third Selby Jobs Fair and the opportunities available, and to establish a network between businesses.

He said last year’s fair attracted more than 1,000 jobseekers and hoped this year would be even better. “Bookings for stands are ahead of what they were at this time last year and the number of jobs on offer is also up. All the signs are that this will be the best jobs fair so far.”
