Johanna Prestol-Dominguez, who works in human resources for Nixon Uniform Service & Medical Wear, one of the employers at Thursday's job fair, said the uniform rental service has jobs available. And Prestol-Dominguez said she has seen an increase in the number of applicants who had lost jobs in fields such as real estate, banking and mortgage lending.
George Brooks, a Northwest Baltimore resident who had been out of the military for 10 years, attended the job fair in hopes of moving from a pharmacy technician job into an auditing job where he could use his training in accounting.
Brooks said he has been looking for months, sending out two or three resumes a day. He has heard that he's not qualified or that his resume will be kept on file or that the job requires a move out of state.
