Hurricane Katrina Aftermath (and other stuff I find interesting)

Harrah's New Orleans Casino will conduct job fairs on Wednesday, Jan. 4, Thursday, Jan. 5 and Saturday, Jan. 7 to recruit the staff that will re-open the casino on Feb. 17, 2006. All three job fairs are from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. at the Sheraton Hotel on Canal Street in the Nottaway Room on the 4th Floor. Applicants will fill out an employment application and be interviewed. Successful applicants must agree to a background check. According to a recent press release, Harrah’s has been in direct contact with more than 90 percent of employees who worked at the casino before Hurricane Katrina. Harrah’s expects to hire or re-hire more than 1,000 employees for the re-opening. For more information, go to http://www.harrahs.com/hurricane/index.html.
