Mayor of Buffalo Shows how out of touch he really is

(Erie County, Buffalo, NY) Yesterday afternoon, Mayor of Buffalo, NY Byron Brown is holding a job fair with the hopes that 1200 jobs are filled. In a report from WIVB-TVposted on their website, we see Gieco mentioned and Western New York Immediate Care and Embassy Suites.

Unfortunately for job seekers, Gieco offers great benefits but their hiring process is a twelve step, exhaustive process that can prompt the applicant to really think about their choice, "Do I really want to do this?" A twelve step process is very unusual, and is negative against those whom have to make arrangements or take a bus to the to the company location in Amherst.

Buffalo, NY constantly has job fairs, what does this mean? Does this mean that the employers can not keep good employees (management issue) or is it just window dressing to make a company look better then they really are? The Buffalo Destroyers were actively advertising for employees right up until the day they packed the moving van and trucked down the 90.

Is Buffalo, NY hosting a job fair to make the City of Buffalo look like it is more successful then tehy really are? Gieco is not in Buffalo and neither is Immediate Care.

Job fair is scheduled for next Thursday 10 am until 6 pm at the Buffalo Museum of Science on Humbuldt Parkway. Good news, round trip, individuals from Northern Erie County will only have to take four buses and 2 hours  to get to and home from the job fair. Too bad we could not have had the Job Fair in a central location like downtown.
