Finding More Than Jobs at ONE Hiring Events

Over the last 18 months, our job fairs have helped hire hundreds of new employees. Here’s what some of them have to say about their experiences at these events.

Pat Rocco, Golf Club Fitter, Turning Stone Golf Dome

“I went to the job fair in September and I was in and out within three hours. It was very professional, very organized. I knew exactly what job I wanted—professional club fitter. Being a PGA member, it was a perfect fit, no pun intended. First I was interviewed by a recruiter, then by my supervisor and after that, I walked out with a job – it really was that easy.”

Chequira Thomas, Dealer, YBR Casino & Sportsbook

“I didn’t know what I wanted to apply for. One of the recruiters came over to me and said, ‘If you’re not applying to be a dealer, you’re making a mistake.’ I’m so glad I did. I like interacting with all the players. It’s exciting. I also really enjoy the fact that everybody takes time to stop and say hello and introduce themselves. It’s like being at home.”

Joseph Cambareri, Table Games Dealer, YBR Casino & Sports Book

“Since the job fair I attended in February 2022, I’ve learned eight table games. I have a blast every day. I like to tell people, my favorite game is something different than what I dealt yesterday. The best thing about working at YBR is the supportive team. And we all are given opportunities to learn and grow.”

Savion Haygood, Cook, 7 Kitchens

“My main goal was to come out of the job fair in Albany with a job. I told [the recruiters] about my culinary background and about what I could bring to the team if I was hired. I told them I would come in with a learning mentality, be a sponge, take everything they know and apply it in the kitchen. I’m like a lion, and lions adapt in the jungle, so wherever I go, I’m going to adapt.”
