QUEENS, NY – The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) will join the list of more than a dozen featured employers and recruiters at the ninth installment of the “Virtual Queens Jobs Recruitment Fair,” hosted by Acting Queens Borough President Sharon Lee, on Wednesday, October 7th to connect Queens job seekers to available employment opportunities.

WABC-TV (Channel 7) will return as a media partner, after heavily promoting and airing the previous two Queens Jobs Recruitment Fairs on August 26 and September 16 on its website at www.abc7ny.com. It will continue its promotional efforts for the October 7 recruitment fair.
“Our borough’s ongoing recovery and rebuild relies deeply on connecting job seekers with available positions in key sectors of our restarting economy,” said Borough President LEE. “Queens is pleased to welcome the FDNY to our robust set of partners at our ninth Virtual Queens Jobs Recruitment Fair to answer questions live about a wide variety of jobs hiring now.”
Held every third Wednesday, the October 7 Virtual Queens Jobs Recruitment Fair will be held online from 2:00PM to 3:30PM.

參與者和觀眾將聽到僱主和招聘人員的簡短介紹，他們尋求填補各種服務領域的數百個職位，包括發展支援、運輸、零售、安保等。
The ongoing hiring push comes as Queens’ unemployment rate sits at 16.4 percent as of August, down from a high of 21.6 percent in June but up more than 13 percentage points from February’s 3 percent unemployment rate. According to the New York State Department of Labor, more than 1.84 million New York City residents have filed unemployment claims between March 8 and September 19.
“The excellence of the New York City Fire Department is enhanced by the ability to recruit, hire, retain, and promote highly skilled, talented and motivated members from diverse backgrounds,” said FDNY Assistant Commissioner for Recruitment and Retention NAFEESAH NOONAN. “FDNY prides itself in attracting candidates who are of diverse gender, age, culture, race, religious preference, and sexual orientation because the expression of unique ideas provides for better productivity, efficiency and service to a diverse and multi-faceted community.”
