SoFi Stadium busca contratar miles de trabajadores

SoFi Stadium espera contratar cerca de 2,000 personas esta semana.

Cientos de personas llegaron desde temprano al estadio de Inglewood para solicitar empleo en el primero de dos días de la feria de empleo.

“Tengo 30 años de experiencia este tipo de trabajo”, dijo Sonia Trejo, quien espera encontrar empleo en SoFi Stadium.

Trejo vino muy temprano para poder aplicar por un tercer trabajo, porque dijo que en estos momentos hay muchas oportunidades y con su experiencia puede trabajar en lo que le gusta, añadió que las oportunidades son para quienes son emprendedores.

“[Hay] gente que no quiere trabajar, pero trabajo hay muchas oportunidades, pero mucha gente no quiere aprovechar”, agregó.

Funcionarios de SoFi Stadium dicen que necesitan muchos empleados.

“Tenemos más de mil posiciones abiertas, estamos hablando de cocineros, servidores, meseros, de bodega de todo hay ahorita, especialmente porque el estadio es nuevo y está terminando la temporada de fútbol, pero todavía hay muchos juegos, conciertos que vienen, pero el evento más grande es el Super Bowl que será en febrero”, dijo Jaime Cedano, empleado de la academia Hospitality Training.

Estos trabajos son temporales, pero mientras más disponibles estén las personas,  los acomodan en los eventos a futuro.

“Se llama ‘seasonal work’ [trabajo de temporada] porque son empleados para el estadio, la mayor parte para son para los partidos de fútbol americano, y después de eso solo va a ver conciertos, aunque no son diarios, pero habrá por lo menos 5 o 6 cada mes”, agregó Cedano.

Carlos Moreira dijo que esta oportunidad de empleo le cae como anillo al dedo porque el desempleo ya se acabó.

“Estamos esperando que se normalice la situación para poder llegar a trabajar las 40 horas semanas, ahorita trabajo un día, dos días y no alcanza para sobrevivir y hay que buscar en otros lugares, dijo Moreira.

La próxima feria de trabajo será el jueves, 11 de noviembre en el SoFi Stadium en Inglewood de 5 p.m. a 9 p.m.

SoFi Stadium Seeking to Fill 2,000 Jobs

Veronica Perez was all smiles beneath her mask and red beret Tuesday afternoon. She made her her way through the hiring process at so-fi stadium.

Her enthusiasm, say job fair organizers, is definitely a plus.

“The pandemic,” she said. “I was laid off from my job. So, anything helps.”

She lost that job more than a year ago, she says, a food service position at LAX.

Making ends meet for her and her young children has not been easy.

She’s looking for a cashier gig or customer service.

“I’m looking for better opportunities and open my job skills,” she said.

There are more than 2,000 hospitality jobs up for grabs, says organizer Adine Forman. These are the folks who keep fans comfortable, fed and hydrated during games and concerts.

There are jobs as concession stand attendants, cooks, and suite runners, said Forman, the executive director of Hospitality Training Academy. ​There are warehouse jobs and 800 cook positions.

If you work four consecutive events in a row, you get a $150 signing bonus.

By midday, the line of hundreds had dwindled to a handful. Like other employers, this one is faced with some interesting challenges.

Although the numbers of people actively seeking employment have gone up in recent weeks, big companies, even prestigious ones, like so-fi stadium, still struggle to generate interest.

“We’re paying anywhere from over $15 an hour to $24.50 an hour,” Forman said.

SoFi Stadium in Inglewood seeking to hire thousands at job fair this week

SoFi Stadium is looking to hire about 1,200 to 2,000 people for various jobs at the stadium.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KABC) — SoFi Stadium is looking to hire thousands from a two-day hiring fair being held this week.

The SoFi Hospitality Hiring Fair is coming at a time when many employers are having a hard time finding people to hire, so the stadium is sweetening the deal with a bonus after working four consecutive events.

People started lining up early morning on Tuesday for a chance to work at the new SoFi Stadium and it’s not just regular games they’d be working.

“Our goal is to make sure that the football games, the concerts, the Super Bowl, are fully staffed up,” said Adine Forman, executive director of the Hospitality Training Academy.

SoFi Stadium is looking to hire about 1,200 to 2,000 people for various jobs, including cooks, dishwashers, concession stand workers and more.

“I’m trying to improve on my cooking skills so this is going to be my first job as a cook,” said Diana Guillen, after she was hired as a cook at SoFi Stadium. “So I think this is really going to help me. It’s a good start for me, so I’m ready for it.”

During the job fair attendees go through the job application process, interviews and some are hired right on the spot.

“It feels really awesome knowing that being an L.A. native and that I am a part of some thing which is really big and special,” said Derrick Powell, who was hired.

The second day of the job fair will be Thursday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
