Job seekers can learn about employment opportunities during the event, to be held Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the mall, 160 Walt Whitman Rd. in Huntington Station.
The event will feature dozens of retailers that are seeking local talent and will be taking applications to fill part-time, full-time and holiday positions. Jobs range from entry-level retail and sales to management opportunities. Participating stores include Bloomingdale's, Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Abercrombie & Fitch, Armani Exchange, Banana Republic, Forever 21, GAP and Victoria's Secret.
Candidates should come prepared with copies of their résumés to provide to prospective employers, who will conduct one-on-one screenings during the fair.
