Ocala, Fla. (Sept. 17, 2025) – CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion is set to host the Marion County Job Fair on Thursday, Oct. 2, offering job seekers the ideal season — and reason — to fall into fresh career opportunities and connect with employers ready to hire.

“If you’re stuck without solid employment, now’s the time to embrace the season of change and find a job that fits you as perfectly as your favorite fall sweater,” said Rusty Skinner, CareerSource CLM’s chief executive officer.

Skinner noted that on one day, in one place, attendees can meet with hiring managers from a variety of industries and all with immediate jobs to fill.

To date, the following businesses will be recruiting to fill positions ranging from entry-level to experienced: Antebellum Manufacturing, AutoZone Distribution Center, AutoZone Retail, Chick-fil-A Ocala, Colen Built Development (On Top of the World), Comfort Keepers, Cone Distributing, Dollar Tree Distribution, Eckerd Connects Workforce Development, E-One, FedEx, Florida Department of Children and Families, Florida Department of Corrections, Florida Department of Health, HCA Healthcare, Heart of Florida Health, Marion County Public Schools, R+L Global Logistics, Ring Power CAT, Starbucks, SunTran, The Vines Hospital, Viceroy Home Health, and World Equestrian Center.
