State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Woodhaven) is bringing his free job fair back to South Ozone Park next month.
The event, which is co-sponsored by the Queens Chamber of Commerce, is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 8, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Resorts World Casino. Job seekers are encouraged to dress in professional attire and bring multiple copies of their resumes to distribute to potential employers.
Companies, organizations, recruiters, and agencies across the Tri-State area are invited to participate in the job fair free of charge. Each registered entity will have an assigned table with chairs and may request access to a power source.
Resorts World offers free parking directly across from the casino entrance, and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible.

The senator called the fair “a highlight of my annual calendar.”
In New York State, the unemployment rate is at 4.4 percent, higher than the national rate of 4.1 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“This is a highlight of my annual calendar, and I’m deeply thankful to our host site, Resorts World Casino, and co-sponsor the Queens Chamber of Commerce for their support in creating job opportunities for our community,” Addabbo said. “Facilitating employment for individuals is one of the most significant roles I play as an elected official. I urge anyone seeking a job to attend the job fair and explore all the available options. Over the years, many constituents have returned to share their success stories after finding jobs at this event, and there’s truly no greater satisfaction than that.”
