Amid the crowds, job recruiters say they've been keeping busy this Saturday.

“I've actually already had to go back to the office and get more copies, so better turnout than I expected,” says Corporate Recruiter Carla Holk. She says she's pleased to see so many job hunters. Many, like William Drinkard Junior say they're not too picky.

“I'm going to take care of my family the best way that I can better income, better finances,” says Drinkard. He says he's got a job now, but wants one that'll help him provide better. He says he's putting is best foot forward today and reaching out for some divine assistance.

“First I pray and I ask God to give me guidance and wisdom when I speak,” says Drinkard. While some are looking for a job to better their income, others want something they can really get in to.

“Having a career you should do something that you really enjoy that will really keep your motivation high and you really want success and succeed at in everything you do in that type of career,” says Tilton Scott. He says he's gainfully employed at a local manufacturer. He says he'd rather find a job where he can use his design and photography skills. Tilton says you shouldn't be afraid to challenge yourself.
