Checkers Restaurants of Southern Maryland is hosting a Hiring Fair on April 18-19, in conjunction with the St. Mary’s County Community Development Corporation Jobs Connection Program, to identify, screen and hire local candidates for entry -level management and crew careers.

 Prospective hires attending the hiring fair should bring a resume and photo id. It will be located at the Jobs Connection Office, at 21783 Coral Place Lexington Park, which is across from the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store.

 The times are 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday, April 19; and from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, April 19.

 Checkers worked successfully with Harford County through the Maryland Workforce Exchange to host three hiring fairs in 2008.

 “We fully staffed our newest Checkers restaurant in Edgewood, Maryland working exclusively through the Workforce Center in Aberdeen,” said Helen Dorsey, SVP, special projects for Checkers.

 “We have a wonderful working relationship with Harford County, and wanted to do the same thing here at home, in St. Mary’s County,” Ms. Dorsey continued. “Together with the Jobs Connection program, we hope to offer career employment to the residents of St. Mary’s County at our three restaurants located in Waldorf, California and Lexington Park.”

 Ken Winegrad, Manager of the Jobs Connection added: “We look forward to working with the Checkers leaders to provide job opportunities for our clients.”
