Addabbo to Host Senior Job Fair

Howard Beach, NY (May 13, 2016) As part of his continued effort to help individuals find work, Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. will host his annual Senior Job Fair next month for job seekers ages 55 and over.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, June 3, employers will be present at Queens Community House, located at 80-02 Kew Gardens Road, to meet with seniors looking for work in various fields including health care, retail, sales, security and other areas. Representatives from each company will accept résumés and meet with potential job candidates to discuss openings within the organization.

“Finding a job is always an uphill battle, but the task is even more difficult for our senior population,” said Addabbo. “The cost of living continues to rise, and more and more people over 55 find themselves coming out of retirement or having their circumstances change and needing once again to search for a way to make ends meet. It is important that we provide these individuals with the resources they need to succeed in their job search. I am proud to once again host my annual Senior Job Fair and look forward to meeting the eager job seekers at this event next month.”

Addabbo frequently hosts job fairs and hiring events throughout the year, including a general job fair with around 100 vendors for candidates of all ages to attend in October.

The job fair is free to attend for both employers and for those looking for a job. Job seekers who plan to attend should bring dress professionally and bring plenty of copies of résumés.

For more information about the job fair or for any businesses who currently have job openings for seniors and wish to participate, contact Addabbo’s Howard Beach Office at 718-738-1111.
