Job fair gives youths a chance to impress employers
It was a match made in heaven. Young people looking for jobs were given the chance to meet with representatives of companies looking to hire employees at a Bushwick job fair sponsored by the non-profit organization Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow (OBT).
The job fair, which OBT organized in partnership with the New York State Department of Labor, took place Wednesday at OBT’s Bushwick site, 25 Thornton St., and included training sessions as well as meet and greets with prospective employers.
Young people who came to the job fair could participate in mock interviews with both OBT experts and Dept. of Labor staffers so that they could be ready to meet with job creators.
