TEAM Abilities Turns the Traditional Job Fair Into a “Golden Ticket Hiring Party”
TEAM Abilities invites job seekers to come for the fun and stay for their future — with prizes, giveaways and employment opportunities
SPRING, TEXAS — Finding a new job doesn't have to feel like a job.
TEAM Abilities is putting a new spin on traditional recruiting with its Golden Ticket Hiring Party, scheduled for Thursday, August 27, from 5–7 p.m. at TEAM Abilities' new location at 8448 Hwy 242, Conroe, TX 77385.
The casual hiring event is designed to remove some of the pressure of a traditional job fair and give prospective employees an opportunity to meet the TEAM Abilities staff, learn about the organization and explore employment opportunities in a welcoming, upbeat environment.
“We don't want this to feel like walking into an intimidating job interview,” said Rachel Jelks, Executive Director & Founder for TEAM Abilities. “We want people to come in, meet us, learn about the work we do and discover whether TEAM might be the right place for them. You may walk in looking for a job and discover a career that matters.”
TEAM Abilities serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through community-based programs and services. Employees have the opportunity to become part of the daily lives of the individuals TEAM serves—helping them participate, engage, develop independence and enjoy meaningful experiences within their community. There are several positions open for immediate employment, such as: Group Home Direct Care Staff, Day Hab Caregiver, Appointment Runners, Care Coordinators and more. All positions require an active Driver's License. All employees are paid weekly.
The Golden Ticket Hiring Party will combine recruiting with a little celebration. Attendees will have opportunities for prizes including gas cards, grocery cards, restaurant cards and additional giveaways, along with an “Extravagant Grand Prize.”
The event's message says it simply:
“Come for fun. Stay for your future.”
TEAM Abilities is particularly interested in meeting individuals who enjoy working with people, bring energy and compassion to their work, and are interested in making a meaningful difference in the lives of adults with special needs. They are looking for heart, kindness and compassion and will train for the actual position - experience is not necessary.
Rather than relying solely on applications and résumés, the Hiring Party gives both prospective employees and TEAM Abilities an opportunity to meet face-to-face.
“Some of the qualities that make someone extraordinary at this work don't necessarily show up on a résumé,” Jelks said. “Kindness, patience, reliability, enthusiasm and the ability to genuinely connect with another human being matter tremendously to us. Sometimes you need to meet someone to recognize that.”
The Golden Ticket Hiring Party is open to individuals interested in learning more about employment opportunities with TEAM Abilities.
