"The volume and quality of candidates who attended Monster's Keep America Working career fair was tremendous," said Gregg Fiorentino, manager of Human Resources for Manhattan-based DGA Security Systems, Inc., a security and fire systems company. "We spoke with a lot of people who interested us and we brought in quite a few for interviews. Ultimately, we hired two - a response agent, who is a security professional whose skills include investigation and customer service and a recent college graduate to staff a highly responsible, customer-focused position in our monitoring center. For us, the career fair was well worth attending."

Monster Supports Nonprofit Partner Participation in Keeping America Working (KAW) Tour
Another unique aspect of the Keep American Working Tour is Monster’s relationship with two non-profit organizations, Dress for Success and Career Gear. In the current economic environment, these non-profits are experiencing cuts to their program budgets that preclude them from hosting career fairs of their own. Monster has invited these organizations and their respective clients to attend the Keep America Working Tour. Clients from these organizations receive preferred early entry to attend a pre-fair workshop that orients them to the career fair and arms them with strategies to help them make the most of their experience. Check out the success of this program to date.
