KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - Feb. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- On February 25 and 26, 2014, ADVANCE is hosting a free two-day national online job fair for healthcare professionals. This convenient career event will connect job seekers all over the country with new, exciting job and education opportunities.

This career event shines the spotlight on opportunities in nursing, rehabilitation, respiratory care, sleep medicine, speech-language pathology, medical laboratory and health information. Students and professionals in these fields can chat with representatives from hiring facilities, instantly upload their resumes in each exhibitor’s booth, research potential employers and more.

Attendees can enjoy a free and exclusive educational session each day: Staying Motivated in Your Healthcare Job on February 25 and Caring for Today’s Veterans on February 26. Registrants who attend the event between 12:00-4:00pm ET on February 25 and 3:00-7:00pm on February 26 will be entered to win a $100 Visa gift card.
