HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- If you're looking for a job in the Heights, Eyewitness News hosted a virtual job fair with some positions paying $24 an hour.
With its proximity to downtown, quirky shops and good food, the Heights is an appealing place to live.
"You get that small town, home town feel with the big city convenience," Workforce Solutions spokesperson Michelle Castrow explained.
To get the convenience, some Heights employers need help.

There are 33 positions in the Heights, including bilingual call center operator, movers and remote math teachers.

"You can go from the job fair to collecting a paycheck, in hopefully, just a couple of short weeks," Castrow explained.
If you're on unemployment, there's no requirement to search for work to keep benefits.
However, experts caution that could change soon, and Thursday's job fair could be a way to improve your resume.
"You never know in this COVID environment when everything is constantly changing. You might even learn some new skills you didn't know you could do and take that into your long-term career," Castrow said.

During the scheduled events, recruiters answer calls and emails.
