Job seekers are gearing up for the largest job fair in Dallas County.
The “You’re Hired Job Fest” is a collaboration between Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, Workforce Solutions and Dallas County Community College.
Representatives from companies including USP, Amazon, Walmart, and Fed-Ex will be looking to fill 5,000 positions. The jobs are in logistics, supply chain and distribution.
Interviews will be conducted on the spot, with some employers even offering tuition reimbursement.
“For some employees who got a job last year, their salary has since doubled,’ said Jenkins. “This is the best part of my job. I love seeing people get that living wage job that transforms into a good job. We're all into this together. We've got to work together. So I work with these companies and organizations to get those jobs for the people that live here.”
The second annual You’re Hired Job Fest will be held at Gilly’s in downtown Dallas at 1 p.m.
