Every semester, Long Beach City College hosts a job fair for students and members of the Long Beach community.
With over 50 employers in attendance, the crowd for potential employees only grew larger as time passed.
Long Beach Harbor Patrol officer Tyree Jones expressed his appreciation for the attendees at this years 2019 job fair.
“Yeah, we actually got a lot of people coming to our booth and we’re only what, an hour in?” Jones said.
Officer Jones is a recruiter for Long Beach Harbor Patrol and explained that this job fair was very successful, even in its starting moments.
Employers remained open and held extensive conversations despite the growing crowd.
On the spot interviews were held for the Starbucks booth where Terrance Peace, a member of a nearby community shared his experience.
“I just did an interview for Starbucks… Yeah I got the job, easy money now,” Peace said.
Dylan Sprankle, another recipient of an on the spot interview, expresses his opinion on the job fair.
“It gave me a chance to look for jobs I’m interested in … The employers gave lot of information … I did get an on the spot interview with Buffalo Wild Wings,” Sprankle said.
This year, the job fair proved to be a success with people packed almost shoulder to shoulder.
The job fair takes place every semester at the Long Beach City College Veterans stadium.
