AFTER A BUSY DAY helping thousands of people meet recruiters and find jobs, the Working World crew likes to relax with some refreshment. Cheers to the working people of Los Angeles!

We work hard and we play hard

The Job Fair Rocked — Thanks for Coming

5,000 people came to our party

HOSTING A JOB FAIR is a lot of work — and very nerve-wracking. The hardest part is estimating how many people will come. When unemployment is low, we have a lot of vendors and less traffic. During a recession, we have fewer companies who need to pay to hire and way more job seekers. It would be nice to find a happy medium, but it always seems like the room is too crowded or too empty, never just right.

Overall, this job fair was a big success. Parking was not a problem as it has been in years past. The vendors were happy, applicants expressed gratitude that someone was still hosting job fairs during these tough economic times. Our next event is Wed June 24, same location at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel, 1755 N. Highland, Hollywood, CA.
