KING OF PRUSSIA, PA A major career and hiring fair will be held next week in Montgomery County as the local hospitality industry faces a pandemic-involved staffing shortage. Hundreds of jobs are now available through local restaurants and hotels.
The May 4 fair will take place at the Alloy hotel in King of Prussia from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. King of Prussia District is offering $20,000 in bonuses to the first group of individuals hired at the fair. Coming off a difficult year, it s difficult for us to hear that our hotels and restaurants are struggling to staff up for the increased business, said Eric Goldstein, the executive director of King of Prussia District. We hope that by highlighting the many reasons why KOP is great place to work and offering an extra incentive with the bonus, we can encourage people to start the next chapter in their employment journey in King of Prussia.
