SUNRISE, Fla. – Representatives from 30 South Florida companies will be looking to fill hundreds of job openings during a career fair in Sunrise on Tuesday.
The event at the BB&T Center (the former BankAtlantic Center) at One Panther Parkway ended at 2 p.m.
"At the end of the day, I'm looking for somebody who has a really good energy, somebody who is able to hold a conversation," said Brooke Evans with Northwestern Mutual.
Louis Calisanti and Llewelyn Clark were among hundreds of job seekers at the event.
"I have a 17 year old. It's difficult," said Clark.
"It's been very difficult trying to get by, paying rent and all the necessities. It's very hard," said Calisanti.
