The National Society for Hispanic Professionals' Job Fair Series, produced by diversity job board LatPro.com, comes to NYC's Metropolitan Pavilion on April 24th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) April 7, 2008 -- The National Society for Hispanic Professionals (NSHP), in conjunction with diversity job board LatPro.com, will once again be bringing its job fair series to New York City, connecting multicultural jobseekers with companies seeking bilingual and bicultural professional candidates. The career fair is the third in a series of nine job fairs being held across the country this year.

"The 2007 New York City Diversity Job Fair was our most popular event last year, attracting over 1,300 jobseekers and 35 top organizations," said Ricardo Villalba, Events Manager for NSHP. "Based on this overwhelming interest, New York City topped our list of host cities for the 2008 Career Fair Series."

With more than 25% of residents identifying themselves as Hispanic or Latino and over 845,000 Hispanics in the city's workforce (U.S. Census Bureau), New York City is a prime recruiting source for professionals with Spanish language and cross-cultural abilities.

Candidates attending the fair should come professionally dressed and bring at least 30 copies of their resume, as they will be meeting with representatives from prestigious employers including Bloomberg, Unilever, the NY State Education Department, Chrysler, Prudential Financial and Time Warner Cable.
