Thousands turn out for Kings Plaza Job Fair
It was beyond a full house at the Kings Plaza Job Fair on Thursday, October 17, when thousands of job seekers, from Flatbush to Bed-Stuy and even Queens, calmly wound their way through a snake-like line on the second floor of the indoor mall to meet with recruiters from nearly 40 local, state and Brooklyn-wide businesses who had over 1,000 seasonal and part or full-time positions to fill.
The turnout was “amazing” noted Dawn Simon, area senior marketing manager with Macerich, the parent company of Kings Plaza.
“Company-wide, our philosophy is community outreach and this is a way to help out the local community and shoppers while also helping retailers” find great job candidates, added Steven DeClara, senior manager of property management at Macerich.
