Kansas City, Missouri – On Thursday, May 8, 2025, from 3 to 6 p.m., Kansas City will host a second Information & Resource Fair in the 2400 Lobby of Bartle Hall (1500 Central Ave.). This event is your opportunity to interact with City leaders and plan your next public service move if you missed the first meeting or just want another look.
A total of 68Â skilled federal employees who had just found themselves in career limbo attended the first expo. They arrived with years of experience and departed with hopeful prospects; the City is now opening the doors again. What for? Good talent should not go unnoticed. Kansas City wants you, and it’s simple to get noticed.
Walk in, take a clipboard, and complete a hiring profile form. Though it only takes a few minutes, it places your name in front of recruiting managers in many different departments. You will see your abilities, previous positions, and areas you are eager to investigate further. Then, roam the room: every booth depicts a distinct slice of civic life.
Wondering about aviation? The Aviation Department will explain how they keep the skies—and runways—safe and efficient. Searching for a position where community influence is important? Stop by Neighborhood Services or Parks and Recreation; they are constantly looking for planners and coordinators to inject fresh life into local initiatives. The Finance staff is ready to discuss budgets, audits, and fiscal planning if numbers are more your interest. Health and Housing professionals will draw attention to recent affordable living projects and community wellness programs.
