What the Wednesday Hiring Events Are

WorkOne Indy is Marion County's public career center, run under EmployIndy, the local workforce board. On Wednesdays it turns its Shadeland Avenue office into a small hiring floor. Employers set up, job seekers come through, and conversations happen face to face instead of through an applicant portal that never writes back.

The official listings for Nov. 18 and Nov. 25 both say no registration is required. The office sits on the northeast side, a short drive from I-465 for anyone coming in from Lawrence, Castleton or Warren Township.

⚠️ Read This Before You Drive Over

Employers have not been named yet. Both listings say a list of participating employers will be posted closer to each date. We are not going to guess at it. Check the event page the morning of, so you know which industries are in the room.
No Nov. 11 session is listed. The WorkOne Indy calendar shows nothing on Veterans Day, so the next session is Nov. 18.
Nov. 25 is the day before Thanksgiving. It is still on the calendar, but holiday-week schedules can shift. A quick call to WorkOne Indy at 317-798-0335 settles it.
Go by the event page time. One calendar view shows a noon start, while the event page itself says 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Arriving at 11 covers you either way.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

A little prep turns a handshake into an interview.

Print your resume. Bring more copies than you think you need.
Know your schedule. First shift, second shift, weekends, a start date. Recruiters at walk-in events want answers they can act on.
Bring ID and any licenses. A CDL, a CNA certificate or a forklift card can speed things up on the spot.
Use the rest of the building. WorkOne Indy offers free career navigation, resume help and workshops, plus training through local partners. WorkOne recommends creating a free Indiana Career Connect account before you visit, since many of its services run through it.
