In search of employment? An employment fair in Dallas this week will have nearly four thousand openings.
The 7th-annual “You’re Hired Job Fest” is being co-hosted by Workforce Solutions of Greater Dallas and Dallas County Judge Clay Lewis Jenkins, and it will feature almost 80 participating firms. Thursday at Gilley’s Dallas, 1135 Botham Jean Boulevard, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. is when the job fair will take place. There will be parking available at no cost.
Opportunities in logistics, teaching, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, business, and hospitality are just a few of the many fields represented. Dallas County, the cities of Dallas and Irving, as well as UPS and FedEx, are among the participating employers. The offered jobs pay an average of $21 per hour, with some companies even paying $50 per hour.
“Due to the demands on their industry and upcoming holiday season,” many employers are eager to staff up immediately, according to county officials.
“With an average pay of $21 an hour, including jobs that pay up to $50 an hour, there are some fantastic opportunities at my ‘You’re Hired Job Fest’ this Thursday. Stuck in a dead-end job? As Beyonce says, ‘Partner, let me upgrade you!’ So whether you don’t have job, or want a different one, head on down to Gilley’s Dallas and ‘Come see Clay,’ said Dallas County Judge Clay Lewis Jenkins.
