VALLEY JOBS/ECONOMY/NON-PROFIT/DIVERSITY

BestCompaniesAZ and Career Connectors Host Diversity & Inclusion Career Event on November 1

Hundreds of Positions Available with Arizona’s Award-Winning Employers

Phoenix, AZ (September 25, 2017) – BestCompaniesAZ is hosting its annual Diversity & Inclusion Career Event in partnership with Career Connectors on November 1, 2017 at the N. Phoenix Baptist Conference Center from 9-12, and is free to job seekers but advance registration is recommended at DiversityAZ.org.

A roster of award-winning companies will be offering hundreds of positions, at all levels, in the fields of finance, IT, healthcare, customer service/client relations, sales and hospitality. Sponsoring companies must have programs in place that support diversity and/or have earned at least one prestigious state and national workplace award to participate. Most have earned many best practices awards, such as Diversity Inc.’s Top 50, Arizona’s Most Admired Companies, Top Companies to Work for in Arizona, Arizona’s Best Companies to Watch, FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For® in America, FORTUNE Most Admired Companies, US Veterans Magazine’s Best of the Best and others.

On event day, on-site registration and check-in for job seekers begins at 8:30 a.m. Company representatives will be available to answer questions about their recruitment process and meet one-on-one with candidates.

“BestCompaniesAZ Career Events are unlike other job fairs because we feature award-winning companies meeting one-on-one with candidates in a casual, comfortable environment. BestCompaniesAZ has selected and will showcase ‘the BEST’ hiring companies in the state, those that are deeply dedicated to the principles of diversity in the workplace. Each company has a distinct culture, and this is the place to come and learn about their differences. Additionally, we have joined forces with the dynamic nonprofit Career Connectors to share valuable resources with job seekers in advance of the event and on-site, all free of charge,” said Denise Gredler, BestCompaniesAZ founder and CEO.

“We’re excited to be a part of this year’s Diversity & Inclusion Career Event. Most job seekers leave BestCompaniesAZ events very enlightened – with new contacts, resources, and hiring leads, all for taking the time to attend. Year-round at Career Connectors, we offer free networking events and many resources, including career coaching, resume writing and even assistance creating LinkedIn profiles to help people prepare for events and great hiring opportunities such as this,” said Jessica Pierce, Executive Director of Career Connectors. “It’s a win-win situation.”

Featured 2017 BestCompaniesAZ hiring sponsors include Charles Schwab, Dignity Health Arizona, Progrexion, USAA, GoDaddy, Hyatt Regency-Phoenix, Vanguard, Direct Energy and Vixxo.

Testimonials

Navigating the world of career transition can be an overwhelming experience.  In addition to the mechanics of transition (updated resume, career search strategies), there is the deeper need to connect to people who are in the same situation as you are.   For me, all of this was answered by Career Connectors!  Had it not been for this organization, I might still be sitting in my house, wondering what to do next!  At just one Career Connectors meeting you can be inspired by great speakers, … Read more

If you are a job seeker in transition or looking to find that new great position I highly recommend Career Connectors. The search process has changed significantly over the years and Career Connectors will provide you many tools that will allow you to stand out and demonstrate your unique value to potential employers. At each event I had the opportunity to “sharpen the saw” through top notch expert presentations on image portrayal, positive attitude, networking, social media presence, job… Read more

Networking helps, especially when you do not directly know anyone at a target company. I have attended 4 of your meetings and at one of them a company representative and recruiter presented. I was already familiar with this company, but she also said some other things in the presentation that made me take notice and created more interest on my part. I spoke with the recruiter at your event and she followed up the next week and from there I went on several phone interviews and on site interview t… Read more

I would like to share that I landed a contract position for 6 months with possible conversion to a permanent position on the team after those contract periods complete. I work on a team as an Instructional Designer and the team is virtual, which means I am able to work from home 100% of the time! I am very excited for the future of my career! I wanted to share that I sadly won’t be seeing you at Career Connector events for the next 6 months at the very least, and we’ll see how my performance … Read more

I’ve attended a few of your events in Gilbert and Scottsdale since returning to AZ and being an active job seeker. I’m happy to report that I’ve been offered a job! I’m over the moon about the offer and couldn’t be more grateful after a long, three month search (that definitely felt much longer…. 🙂 ). I want to thank you for your programs. You have excellent speakers who always energized me when I was needing it most. And your resume reviewer was great. She was a tough cookie with a red pen y… Read more

It was amazing, you guys did a great job! I found several potential companies!
Irene
Good news. I have landed. Thank you for your support throughout my job search journey. You and your organization has lots to offer besides the positive energy, uplifting of self confidence and immense networking opportunities. I am very appreciative of the efforts and time put forward by you and your team.
Kirtida A.
After a company layoff thrust me into the job market, Career Connectors was exactly what I needed to develop my networking skills. Networking is a job in itself, and the skills I learned helped me to land a temporary position just three months later that is now permanent. I believe in the Career Connectors mission and continue to volunteer as a way of expressing my appreciation for their support during a very tough time…thank you Career Connectors!
Diane N.
Thank you, Jessica. Although I wasn’t able to meet you personally, I was able to see you working with another applicant and was impressed with your efforts and the excellent platform that your team presented. Thank you very much.
