DALLAS — Looking for a job? Nearly 4,000 jobs will be available at a job fair in Dallas this week.
Nearly 80 employers will participate in the 7th-annual ‘You’re Hired Job Fest” hosted by Dallas County Judge Clay Lewis Jenkins and Workforce Solutions of Greater Dallas. The job fair will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at Gilley’s Dallas at 1135 Botham Jean Boulevard. Free parking will be available.
The jobs range from opportunities in logistics, education, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, business, hospitality, and more. Employers participating include UPS, FedEx, Dallas County, the city of Dallas, and the city of Irving. The average pay for the jobs available is $21 an hour and some are offering up to $50 an hour.
County officials say many of the employers are looking to staff up immediately “due to the demands on their industry and upcoming holiday season.”
“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.
Workforce Solutions Greater Dallas has eight centers across Dallas County that provide opportunities for job training, workplace education, childcare and educational initiatives. For more information, visit their website here.
