WHY: Each year The Big Fresno Fair hires roughly 800 – 1,000

This year, the Fair is looking to fill nearly 800 positions for
the 2012 Big Fresno Fair from people attending the Job
Fair.

"We are looking for top-notch workers who believe in keeping The Big Fresno Fair a place where families can expect superior customer service,” said John C. Alkire, CEO of The Big Fresno Fair. “Our goal with the Job Fair is to create a greater level of awareness among Central Valley residents that these job opportunities exist at The Big Fresno Fair. The fact that we’re hiring hundreds of hard working local residents creates a big opportunity for those looking for work.”

Founded in 1884, The Big Fresno Fair is the fifth largest fair in the State of California and is an integral part of the community providing critical economic impact, as well as a 129-year long tradition for Valley families. Nearly 550,000 people visit The Big Fresno Fair each year making it the largest annual event in the Central Valley.
