TALLAHASSEE, Fla. –The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) is hosting a state agency job fair on Wednesday, July 27 from 10 am–2 pm. The event will take place at DBPR headquarters at 2601 N. Blair Stone Road in Tallahassee. The hiring event is designed to be a “speed interview” style job fair, where applicants will be asked if they are interested in a specific position or type of position and short interviews will be done on site. Some successful interviews may include conditional offers, pending a background check. All positions pay at least $15 per hour. The job fair is hiring for a broad range of positions in all 13 DBPR offices across the state, including:
“It is exciting to see our agency try a new, innovative approach to hiring,” said DBPR Secretary Melanie S. Griffin. “With the variety of different jobs we have at our agency and this new hiring approach, I am confident we will grow our amazing team and be even better equipped to support our licensees and the people of Florida.” Job seekers should bring their resumes and government-issued ID. If job seekers claim veteran preference entitlement, they should also bring copies of their DD-214. To save time, job candidates may complete a job application in advance. Applications will also be available at the event.
