There was a steady stream of interested job seekers; of the 39 who signed in when they arrived to the fair, 20 have submitted applications.

A variety of WYDOT programs and job fields were available to talk to potential applicants during the fair, including WHP, dispatch, engineers, telecommunications, District maintenance and equipment and more. Current employees answered questions and explained why they enjoy working for WYDOT.

Human Resources representatives were also present with laptops and other equipment to help attendees apply for a job on site if they were interested.
