Hank's Jobs Page

Since 2009, my office has held four job fairs throughout the district -- helping constituents connect with companies and agencies that are hiring.

To better serve constituents year round, my office created this page to put the best job sites, notice of local job fairs and job search tips and advice in a one-stop shop.

Whether you or someone you know is looking for a job or has a job but is looking for a change, my office is here to help.
