2,000 Compete For 200 Temporary Jobs In Fort Wayne

More than 2,000 people showed up at the Grand Wayne Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana to compete for seasonal and part time jobs with Fort Wayne’s minor league baseball team, the Tin Caps.

The jobs, about 200 in total, were all seasonal in nature. Spokesman Michael Limmer commented on how the situation brought the current economic situation into focus. 

”It hit me when I realized and saw that many people,” he said.

Limmer said the big turnout boosts the team’s chances of hiring good people to serve as ushers, ticket takers, parking lot attendants, ticket office sales staffs and service jobs such as food preparation.

The process started with brief interviews of five minutes, after which some applicants went on to second, more in-depth interviews.  However, as the afternoon wore on and wait times became indefinite, Limmer said the team decided to take applications only.
