On Tuesday, April 19, members of the Mississippi equipment and event rental community will have the opportunity to take in a presentation providing the lowdown on current employment tips and trends, and tour both Thompson Machinery and Busylad Rental in the Tupelo, Miss., area.
The event, which will be hosted by Thompson Machinery in Belden, Miss., will feature guest speaker Jim Goodwill, co-owner of Express Personnel Services, who will deliver “Well, THAT was Wild: What’s Changed in the Employment World, Besides Everything?” Goodwill’s presentation will highlight the following points:

- Plan of action to yield the best results for finding employees.
- Strategies for making an unforgettable impression on potential employees.
