"We collected more than a thousand registration cards during the first hour alone," Event Coordinator Kathy Caricato said. Companies were looking to hire for 770 jobs ranging in a variety of positions including entry-level to management levels. More than a dozen companies participated in the job fair. Volt Workforce Solutions, a temporary job placement agency had the the largest number of jobs available at 500. Caricato said the fact that companies have so many positions open is a good sign. "During the peak of the recession, companies were holding back on hiring because they were afraid," Caricato said. "Now that they have so many jobs and are ready to hire means the job market is looking up." In addition to employers, the HIREevent also had experts on hand to critique resumes.
