Readers,
Here is another interesting job tip from the O.C. Register:
The Los Angeles Dodgers will hold a job fair this weekend to fill more than 500 seasonal jobs at Dodger Stadium.
The fair is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. It will be held in the Stadium Club and third baseline suites.
Available positions include jobs as ushers and in security, maintenance, and food service with Levy Restaurants.
Starting at 9:30 a.m., prospective applicants can enter the Sunset Gate, where they will receive descriptions of available jobs.
A further job fair will be held at the stadium March 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. That event is the annual Community Job Fair, which features area companies and non-profit organizations. Last year’s fair included representatives from Bally total Fitness, Federal Express, Macy’s, Coca-Cola, Sears, Primerica, University of Southern California, and the U.S. Secret Service.
We will post your resume for a one-time fee of only $100.
If anyone is interested in posting a resume on our website, they should go to http://www.propelsearchgroup.com . Click on the “Post Resume” tab.
If someone cannot afford the $100, they should let us know. We’ll post the resume anyway. Like I said, we all have to work together to make it through this time!
