Drive-thru job fair

The Wellesley office of Express Employment Professionals will be holding a drive-through job fair on Wednesday, Sep 16. The event will be held from 11:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. in the parking lot of 40 Washington St.

The staffing company works with local businesses throughout Massachusetts to provide candidates in commercial, administrative, and professional positions for short- and long-term assignments.

Cambridge Trust sneak peek

Wellesley Bank is already no more in light of its acquisition by Cambridge Trust, but things will really look official come the first week in October when signage on Wellesley Bank locations in towns switches to that of Cambridge Trust. Bank officials and partners showed off what they have in mind at a Design Review Board meeting in August.
