WHAT YOU NEED IS A JOB

Watching reruns of Law & Order in your bathrobe is cool and all, but the Putting America Back to Work Job Fair rocks the Penn Valley Community College Gymnasium (3201 Southwest Trafficway) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today. This event rolls deep, with around 25 employers representing hospitality, security and customer-service sectors, and jobs that pay by the hour. They’re eager to shake your hand and give you just enough time to impress them. Dress nice and pack some résumés. Already poor? No problem. It’s free and on the 31st Street bus line. For more details, see employmentguide.com or call 877-741-9534.
