Spectrum job fair for veterans to take place in Van Nuys

Daily News - 5/22/2017

May 22--VAN NUYS -- A local cable company will hold a job fair in Van Nuys on Tuesday aimed at hiring military veterans.

Spectrum, formerly known as Charter Communications and Time Warner Cable, will host the Veterans Jobs Fair from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Airtel Plaza Hotel, 7277 Valjean Ave.

The company says it wants to hire veterans in an expanding workforce to include more technicians and dispatchers in field operations throughout Greater Los Angeles. But company officials say the job fair is open to anyone.

"Spectrum has a strong history of supporting and advocating for our veterans," said Deborah Picciolo, Charter Senior Vice President, West Region Field Operations, in a statement. "We are proud that many of our best team members and leaders have served our country, and their dedication, resilience and unique skills play a critical role in our company's success every day."

Spectrum employs more than 11,500 veterans across the company.

New jobs are available throughout Southern California, including Chatsworth, Culver City, El Segundo, Gardena, Malibu, Newbury Park, Oxnard, Santa Monica and Van Nuys.

Job seekers will have the opportunity to meet with technical operations leaders, including more than a dozen veteran employees, and assess the company culture, while learning about work hours, pay and training. If candidates meet the qualifications and are interested in pursuing a career with Spectrum, face-to-face interviews will be conducted at the event.

"Spectrum makes transitioning back to civilian life and starting a new career as a field technician easy and rewarding," said Cory Hoyt, Charter vice president of West Region Technical Operations, a Marine Corps veteran now celebrating 20 years in the cable industry. "You are already equipped with the required discipline and focus on service and teamwork which are crucial to our job."
