Virtual job fair to be held Wednesday

The New Mexico Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) is seeking a vocational rehabilitation counselor for its Clovis office, and the position is among 20 DVR jobs statewide up for grabs during a Virtual Job Fair that DVR will host on Wednesday.

The job fair is lableled a “rapid hire” event, the first by a state agency to be all virtual, according to a DVR news release.

Potential applicants from eastern New Mexico and even nationwide can tune into the job fair from cell phones, tablets or computers, the news release stated.

“Not everyone has the ability to travel to Santa Fe or Albuquerque, especially in some of the smaller cities,” Tina Tawater, NMDVR Director of Human Resources and Risk Management, said in the news release. “This is really going to open those markets to different candidates.”

Besides the counselor position in Clovis, other jobs available during the virtual event include those involving work with program participants as well as positions in finance, information technology, and executive assistants, the news release stated.

Job candidates should visit http://www.dvr.state.nm.us ahead of time to upload their resume, references, and transcript (depending on the job) and schedule an interview time, the news release stated.

The all-day event will use a software platform that generates a virtual lobby and allows applicants to be called by recruiters into private “interview rooms.”

The DVR helps individuals with documented disabilities find suitable employment for volunteer participants by partnering with companies and agencies seeking opportunities to enhance and diversify their workforce.
