Next month, State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Woodhaven) will host his annual job fair at Aqueduct Racetrack in South Ozone Park. Attendance is free for both job seekers and vendors.
On Friday, Nov. 14, representatives from dozens of companies across the state will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Aqueduct, located at 110-00 Rockaway Blvd. (turf and field entrance), to review résumés and meet potential applicants.
Addabbo offered tips for attendees: Dress in business attire; bring multiple copies of your résumé; and arrive early to maximize networking opportunities. Parking is free in the Aqueduct lot and at Resorts World New York City directly across from the casino entrance. Both areas are wheelchair accessible.

“In today’s economy, landing meaningful employment can feel daunting,” Sen. Addabbo said.
Vendor opportunities: Addabbo’s office is still seeking prospective employers. Those interested in joining should contact Sean McCabe at smccabe@nysenate.gov or (718) 738-1111.
The senator characterized the event as an excellent opportunity for employers who are seeking a qualified and diverse workforce, as the job fair always draws an impressive and skilled crowd from across the 15th Senatorial District and borough.
“In today’s economy, landing meaningful employment can feel daunting,” Addabbo added. “I’m proud to host this job fair each year to connect capable job seekers with opportunities that lead to stable, fulfilling careers. I’m grateful to Aqueduct Racetrack for hosting us, to the participating vendors for their collaboration, and to my team for organizing an event that helps people move forward.”
