HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- If your New Year's resolution is to find a new job, we're here to help! This week, our ABC13 Who's Hiring job fair is taking a look at how to stand out with your application and how someone with a criminal background can secure a position.
For nearly three years, we've partnered with Workforce Solutions to host a weekly event. During the job fair, recruiters take text messages and online applications to help people with free career services.
