Hewlett-Packard Hiring in New Mexico

Technology giant Hewlett-Packard is holding its second career fair in three months for the yet-to-be-opened Rio Rancho facility.

The job fair will be held Monday, March 2, at the Santa Ana Star Event Center in the community northwest of Albuquerque.

The open positions are inside sales, technical support and technical solutions consultants.

Applicants who do not meet the requirements for those jobs will be directed to contact the NM Workforce Connection for information on job services that might help them apply for future HP positions.

The services provided by Workforce Connection include interviewing, and resume and salary negotiation workshops.

Hewlett-Packard has touted the Rio Rancho facility for some time. It expects to employ more than 1,350 by the start of 2013. They anticipate having 1,800 full-time employees in 15 years; and the company says the majority of the jobs will be high paying, with an expected annual payroll of $54 million.
