On October 18, 2007, the NSHP Diversity Career Fair series, sponsored by Hispanic job board LatPro.com, comes to San Diego, bringing top area companies together with talented diversity, Hispanic and bilingual professionals.

“The U.S. Hispanic population is the fastest-growing and largest minority in the country, and companies are increasingly looking for employees with the cultural insight and Spanish language skills needed to serve this market,” says NSHP’s Sandra Roffo. “Our job fairs enable companies to connect directly with the experienced, educated Latino professionals they are seeking.”

Companies attending at the job fair will be interviewing and hiring on site for entry-level to executive positions. Some open positions include: Accountant, Business Analyst, Senior Financial Analyst, Application Architect, Structural Engineer, Software Engineer, Mechanical Design Engineer, Technical Writer, Law Enforcement Technician, Forensic Identification Specialist, Dietician, Certified Phlebotomy Technician, Social Worker, Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist and Assistant, Medical Assistant, Nurse (ER, OR, Burn Unit, Critical Care), and many other professional job opportunities.
