Aug 08, 2013 No Comments by

FRESNO – The Big Fresno Fair will hold its third Annual Job Fair next Thursday, Aug. 15, during which time it will hire hundreds of people for different positions during the 2013 Big Fresno Fair.

The event will take place at the Commerce Building on the Fresno Fairgrounds from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.  Department supervisors will be accepting applications to fill nearly 500 positions for the 2013 Big Fresno Fair. Available positions include but are not limited to: parking and ticket sellers, ticket takers, parking attendants, customer service representatives, janitorial staff, maintenance staff, horse racing staff, security guards and more.

Fair management and department supervisors are looking for people with a strong work ethic and a high level of customer service who want to be part of the Central Valley’s largest annual event. Interested applicants must bring their photo ID and a social security card to the Job Fair. Applications will be available to fill out on-site or are available online in advance at http://www.fresnofair.com/fairgrounds-employment.

Each year The Big Fresno Fair hires roughly 500 – 800 people to work at the annual event, not including the local employees hired directly by our individual food vendors, carnival provider and Livestock department. This year, the Fair is looking to fill nearly 500 positions for the 2013 Big Fresno Fair directly from people attending the Job Fair.

“We are looking for top-notch workers who believe in keeping The Big Fresno Fair a place where families can expect superior customer service,” said John C. Alkire, CEO of The Big Fresno Fair. “Our goal with the Job Fair is to create a greater level of awareness among Central Valley residents that these job opportunities exist at The Big Fresno Fair. The fact that we’re hiring hundreds of hard working local residents creates a big opportunity for those looking for work.”

Fair management decided to hold its first Job Fair in 2011. With nearly 1,000 positions available that year, more than 7,000 people showed up ready to meet with department supervisors and obtain an opportunity to work at The Big Fresno Fair. The annual Job Fair in 2012 drew a big crowd of applicants and fair management anticipates another big turnout for an opportunity to work at the  2013 Big Fresno Fair, which runs Oct. 2 – 14.
