With pandemic restrictions lifted, New Mexico Post 13’s annual job fair a success

Over 100 job seekers attended an April 27 hiring event at American Legion Post 13 in Albuquerque, N.M.

This was the seventh annual Operation Hiring Heroes Employment Event hosted by Post 13 in conjunction with the New Mexico Workforce Connection.

Post 13 Commander Paul Espinoza said it was a “big turnout” after pandemic restrictions limited the number of in-person attendees allowed at the 2021 event.

Espinoza said this year’s event drew 59 employers, each offering at least 15 job openings, as well as 10 resource booths for veterans.
