MP heads Rugeley jobs fair as hundreds attend

Hundreds of job seekers keen to get back earning money visited a Staffordshire jobs fair. They handed out their CVs to local businesses and industries at the event in Rugeley in a bid to get a job.

The jobs fair was organised by Chase MP Aidan Burley in a bid to improve the employment figures for the area.

First through the doors was Nicola Causer, aged 25, from Cannock, who has been searching for a job since April and despite sending out 90 CVs, has not had much luck.

"I have never been to a jobs fair before but this one seemed really good," she said. "I have been struggling to find work since April to get a job so I thought I would give this one a go. I gave three of my CVs out and also filled out an application form so hopefully something will come out of it.

"I have worked in administration before and also have done a legal secretary course, so I am qualified, I just can't find the work or get my feet in the door."
