Greenville recently became a hub for job seekers as hundreds gathered at the Greenville Convention Center to explore employment opportunities. The day-long event organized by East Carolina University (ECU) Career Services featured two significant job fairs aimed at connecting students and alumni with potential employers.
The morning session, known as the general Career and Internship Fair, took place from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., with approximately 100 employers participating. The later session, a Science, Engineering, and Technology Career Fair, was held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., attracting nearly 200 employers specifically in relevant fields. The ECU Career Services Director highlighted the necessity of aligning student interests with suitable job opportunities, and the event sought to facilitate networking and interview arrangements for attendees.
In addition to the ECU job fairs, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is scheduled to host a job fair in Greenville, SC on September 10, 2025, from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. This event will occur at Goodwill Industries located at 115 Haywood Road, Greenville, SC 29607.
USPS is actively looking to fill immediate openings for the positions of Rural Carrier Associate and Assistant Rural Carrier, offering a competitive pay rate of $20.38 per hour. Interested candidates should prepare to apply online, as all applications will be processed through the USPS website. Individuals must be at least 18 years old, possess a valid driver’s license, own a personal vehicle, and pass both drug screening and criminal background checks. Furthermore, applicants need to be available to work on weekends and holidays.
The USPS website frequently updates job postings and provides details about the hiring process along with available positions. It’s essential to note that the USPS operates independently, relying solely on the sale of postage and services for funding without utilizing tax dollars for its operating expenses.
Looking ahead, ECU Career Services has additional job fairs planned for February 12, 2025, which will include another Science, Engineering, and Technology Fair and a Job and Internship Fair. The upcoming science fair is expected to attract around 150 employers, while the afternoon job fair will feature nearly 100 employers from various industries, providing students with essential networking and interviewing opportunities. On-campus interviews with some participating companies will be scheduled for February 13.
