State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Woodhaven) is once again hosting a free, senior-only job fair in Kew Gardens at the end of the month.
On Friday, July 26, residents aged 55 and older are invited to visit the Kew Gardens Community Center, located at 80-02 Kew Gardens Road, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. to apply for jobs with companies that are specifically looking to hire senior workers. Attendees are asked to use the 80th Road entrance.
“With the cost of living in New York City continuing to rise, many people over the age of 55 are finding that they are having a difficult time meeting their financial needs and have to re-join the workforce to make ends meet. Other seniors may still want to continue participating in the workforce,” Addabbo said. “That is why I am hosting this senior job fair so residents aged 55 and older can come and look for jobs in companies that are looking to hire. Seniors are a valuable part of our population, and we need to ensure that they have the necessary tools to find the work they may need or want, in order to sustain independent and healthy lives.”

“Seniors are a valuable part of our population, and we need to ensure that they have the necessary tools to find the work they may need or want, in order to sustain independent and healthy lives,” Sen. Addabbo said.
Addabbo has invited businesses and organizations from a wide range of career fields. Representatives from each company will accept resumes and meet with potential job candidates to discuss openings within their organizations.
This job fair is free, and interested jobseekers are asked to dress professionally and bring several copies of their résumés to hand out to companies to which they would like to apply.
For information about the job fair, contact Addabbo’s district office at (718) 738-1111.
