Job hunters armed with resumes are expected to swarm Wednesday and Saturday into Grupo Boston in San José to meet representatives from the likes of PriceWaterHouseCoopers, a leading professional services firm.

The “Conexión Laboral” (work connection) employment fair has as many as 1,000 jobs in store for would-be employees on Wednesday, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday from10 a.m to 3 p.m., business newspaper El Financiero reported.

Besides the professional services giant, a host of companies such as McDonald's and credit-card company Credomatic will be represented.

The fair could be a relief to the more than 100 people on the waiting list at San José Municipality's employment office.
