Transgender Job Fair Is Tomorrow Outside West Hollywood Library

The City of West Hollywood, through its Transgender Advisory Board, is co-sponsoring a job fair tomorrow that will connect transgender women and men with employment resources and opportunities.

The fair will be conducted in collaboration with the L.A. LGBT Center, which offers services to help transgender women and men develop professional skills, find employment with trans-friendly employers and thrive in the workplace.

The Center’s Transgender Economic Empowerment Project will host the event from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m at the Auto Court at West Hollywood Library, 625 N. San Vicente Blvd. south of Santa Monica. Free parking will be available with validation in the adjacent five-story parking structure.

Participation in the job fair is free and there will be job training, employment information and opportunities to meet potential employers. Free services will include:

• One-on-one sessions with a client advocate;
• Help setting and achieving career goals;
• Job interview workshops;
• Help crafting a powerful resume; and
• Name and gender change and other legal assistance, both employment and non-employment related, including criminal record expungement.
