Job Fair to fill 250 Positions in Rosemont Development Starts Sunday

This weekend jobseekers will have an opportunity to apply for positions at new restaurants and entertainment venues slotted to open next year at a job fair hosted by the Village of Rosemont at Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, 5555 N. River Road.

Employers are looking to fill approximately 250 positions in a new entertainment development, The Park at Rosemont, for cooks, bartenders, servers, hosts, kitchen staff, security, door personnel, managers and box office staff, according to press release.

Employers at the fair will include the restaurants Adobe Gila’s and Five Roses Pub, the bowling alley Kings Lanes and Lounge, and Zanies Comedy Night Club.

The fair will take place in the ballroom on the first floor, and hours are from 11 a.m to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 19, from noon to 8 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 20, and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 21.

Applicants do not have to register for the event, and Nick Harkin, spokesperson for Carol Fox and Associates, the firm handling the job fair’s promotion for the village, said all people need to bring is “their smiling personalities.”

Businesses will open in The Park at Rosemont over the course of a rollout over several months, Harkin said. Five Roses Pub is expected to be first to open at the beginning of April. A grand opening for the development is going to be scheduled in July, Harkin added.

Rivers Casino hosted a similar job fair prior to opening last year. At that event approximately 5,000 people attended and applied for approximately 1,000 openings, Patch reported.

The convention center is accessible by the Metra, CTA Blue Line and busses.
