Those interested in jobs connected with the Base Realignment and Closure process can learn more at a job fair June 13.

The JTF-GNO Career Information Expo, open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Kossiakoff Center at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab in North Laurel, will features recruiters from the Defense Information Systems Agency and the Joint Task Force-Global Network Operation.

The expo is co-sponsored by the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation and the Howard County Office of Workforce Development. More than 2,000 people attended a May 15 job fair in Clarksville that focused on federal government and related contracting jobs.

The two agencies are doing more recruiting in anticipation of relocating to Fort Meade beginning in October 2010. The state expects to get as many as 60,000 new jobs as part of BRAC, about 22,000 of them at Fort Meade.

Candidates are asked to bring résumés as they may be able to do on-site interviews. There also will be workshops on subjects such as building a federal résumé.

A list of available jobs is posted at www.USAjobs.opm.gov.

The event will end promptly at 3 p.m. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged.
