LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (August 14, 2015) – Outlets of Little Rock will be hosting a job fair to begin the process of filling hundreds of full- and part-time positions for many of the brand-name retail stores coming to the shopping destination. The fair will take place from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 10 at the Benton Event Center, located at 17322 I-30 in Benton, Ark.
Participants are encouraged to bring résumés and come dressed to impress. Some retailers will be prepared to conduct interviews on site, while others will only be accepting applications and discussing options with inquirers.
“Along with the opportunity to bring Arkansas residents a new shopping experience, we are thrilled that Outlets of Little Rock will be able to provide job opportunities and economic growth to the Central Arkansas area,” said Teresa Richards, Outlets of Little Rock general manager. “This job fair will be a significant contribution to the increasing economic opportunities in Pulaski County and surrounding areas.”
