Eastern States Exposition (ESE) will hold a 2021 Big E Job Fair on Tuesday, July 20 from 10 am to 1 pm in the Café area of the Eastern States Farmers Market located near the Mallary Complex.

Who is the event open to? 

The event is open to the public and is free of charge. Job-seekers will have the opportunity to network with many different ESE departments. This is a rare opportunity for many hours of work in a short period of time as The Big E is open for 17 straight days. Additionally, once workers experience a Big E job, they tend to return year after year.

“We have people who have been with us for decades, some who take vacation time and others that come in from other areas of the country to assume their Big E role and reconnect with co-workers. We really have a Big E family during the Fair!,” Gene Cassidy, ESE president and CEO said.
