Florida State Fair To Host Job Fair To Fill 400 Positions

TAMPA, FL — The 2020 Florida State Fair is looking for more than 400 people to fill part-time and seasonal positions.

Those interested can apply during a job fair Friday, Jan. 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Bob Thomas Equestrian Center Pavilion at the Florida State Fairgrounds, 4800 U.S. 301, Tampa.

Multiple employers, including Busch Gardens, Speedway and Pro HR Staffing, will be at the job fair with additional seasonal, part-time and full-time opportunities.

“The Florida State Fair is looking for enthusiastic individuals for both part-time and seasonal positions. Between our exhibits, family living competitions, delicious food and much more, we attract over 500,000 people in our 12 days. We wouldn’t be able to give our guests the experience they’ve come to expect without our dedicated team and staff,” said Cheryl Flood, executive director at the Florida State Fair Authority.

Part-time and seasonal positions are available in various departments including event services, equestrian, guest services, operations and more. Jobs will start in mid-January and run through mid-February.

Shifts and hours vary. Applicants must be available to work flexible hours including, but not limited to, on call, late nights, early mornings, weekends and holidays during the fair. The Florida State Fair will be hosted at the Florida State Fairgrounds Feb. 6-17.

To attend the job fair, enter the fairgrounds via the Orient Road Service Entrance and follow the job fair signs. Parking and admission for the job fair is free.
