State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) and Resorts World NYC are once again going virtual for this year’s job fair.
The 2021 Virtual Job Fair will be a 3-day online event running from Tuesday, Oct. 26 through Thursday, Oct. 28. Each day during the event, jobseekers will be able to log on and search through all the registered companies from several different fields across the tri-state area.
Through the online portal, job seekers will be able to register for the event, create their profile by uploading a photo and their resume, browse job listings from over 100 companies once the virtual lobby opens, while meeting and chatting with company representatives about their job listings and have any questions they may have answered in the Interactive Hiring Room. Candidates will be able to log in to the event from their phone, tablet or computer to apply for open positions from all of the companies in one convenient location.
“After the success of last year’s Virtual Job Fair, Resorts World NYC and I decided that with COVID still around, we would go back to a virtual format for this popular event in order to keep all jobseekers and company representatives safe,” Addabbo said. “This event holds even more importance now, with so many New Yorkers having lost their jobs during the pandemic. In this world of Zoom meetings, I believe jobseekers will have an easy time navigating the site and virtually interacting with the companies.”
Some of the participating companies include:
- Treasure Island Management
- GoodTemps
- New York City Community Bank
- Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center
- New York State Police

It is suggested that job seekers dress professionally, especially if they plan to appear on camera for any virtual live-chats with the company representatives.
“It may seem tough right now to get a good job, but companies are hiring and looking for the best and brightest,” Addabbo added. “This is the perfect chance to find job opportunities with some amazing companies and organizations, all from the safety of your home on your computer, laptop, phone or tablet. I want to thank Resorts World NYC for their continued partnership with the job fair event, as well as Keeper of the Brand for helping us bring out event back to the digital platform. I wish everyone much success in finding a job!”
