GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – If you’ve ever wanted to work for the Green Bay Packers, you still have a chance. The team is hosting a job fair for gameday employees on Wednesday.
The job fair runs from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. at the Johnsonville Tailgate Village in the east parking lot of Lambeau Field.
“We are looking for employees to be part of our game day staff, especially in the guest services and security departments,” says Packers Human Resources Manager Chris Cohorst, “Our employee numbers always vary year to year regardless based on the number of employees that return with us and so on, so we’re still hiring.”
While safety and security for fans is always a top priority, Cohorst says the pandemic definitely adds an extra sense of importance for these types of positions.
“Certainly be different than other years. We’re still finalizing our plans for fan attendance and exact capacity, so we are still planning for the season and staffing accordingly,” Cohorst tells WTAQ News, “Making sure everybody that’s coming in is healthy and safe. And for any guidelines are put into place that need to be upheld, we will make sure that we’re following those.”
Job fair attendees will be asked to wear a face mask while interviewing on-site. Anyone without a mask will one provided for them. The team also plans to make sure candidates are socially distant within the Johnsonville Tailgate Village during the job fair.
Applications can be filled out ahead of time online, but will also be provided on-site.
“If people aren’t able to attend the job fair, our positions are open on Packers.com. We’ll continue to review candidates and then those would be qualified or interested in the position may be contacted for an interview,” Cohorst says.
People applying online may be interviewed over the phone or virtually.
