Organizers describe this year’s East Williamson County Job Expo and Business Fair as more “purposeful and intentional” than past versions of the event.
Hosted by the Greater Taylor Chamber of Commerce, the business expo was Saturday, April 27 at the Williamson County Expo Center, 5350 Bill Pickett Trail.
Organizer Rachael Westerman said anywhere from 500 to 700 people attended the event, which is less than last year, but the booths and job seekers probably had more meaningful interactions in this edition. “It’s hard to say it’s down when all the booths are saying, ‘hey, I made great connections,’” Westerman said. “We were tallying the attendees who were coming for the job fair piece of it, and we were tallying if they had resumes or folders with them or were job seekers. We know at least half of the attendees were there for jobs.”
