Bilingual Job Seekers Meet Employers in Santa Barbara

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) -  Job seekers who can speak two languages, preferable Spanish, are getting together for some possible employment opportunities going forward.

It's happening at the Santa Barbara Eastside Library from 1- 3 p.m. today.

The city says this event is specifically tailored for employers actively seeking bilingual and Spanish-speaking jobseekers. 

Meet representatives will be on site. They have positions to fill, some immediately.

Employers Include:

The library site is one of the many expanded used for the library properties and its services.

Besides books the library locations are resources for community events, meetings, seminars, and a library card can also get someone access to museums, state parks and ebike rides.

Recently a promotion with Rori's Creamery rewarded anyone with a library card or a library book a free scoop of ice cream. 

New library card requests in the month of February with that promotion, in Santa Barbara, spiked to 800.  That was just at the main library downtown.
