AUS lands a job fair

There’s a record number of opportunities out there for job-seekers, and one of the best places to learn about them is at a job fair. The latest job fair is a collaboration between Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and the city’s aviation department, in an effort to promote the variety of employment opportunities offered by the airport and the air travel industry, including with the Department of Aviation, Transportation Security Administration, airlines like Southwest, American and Delta, and food and retail concessions. Airport CEO Jacqueline Yaft pointed out in a news release that AUS is “home to hundreds of different teams and supports thousands of direct and indirect jobs. We look forward to welcoming more talented professionals across a wide range of trades and professions to our airport. One of the most exciting and fulfilling things about a career in airport management or the air travel industry is getting to work alongside so many different teams and partners with the shared goal of serving our community.” Entry-level, supervisor and management positions are available, with airport employers offering a minimum wage of $20 per hour and some offering sign-on bonuses.
