Alderman Sawyer responds to Job Fair hoax
Notices sent out recently by text message promoting a downtown job fair hosted by 6th Ward Alderman Roderick T. Sawyer turned out to be a hoax.
The Alderman’s office just became aware of this fraudulent message advising constituents to stop by a job fair on October 3 at 50 W. Washington after receiving a barrage of calls at the downtown and ward offices.
“I find it sad that in these difficult economic times someone felt the need to toy with the emotions of the many people struggling to find a job and can get back on their feet,†Sawyer stated.
The Alderman is working to provide some opportunities for those who are underemployed and unemployed as well as ensure neighborhood representation of the projects that are occurring in the Ward.
“When our office hosts a job fair, the community will be notified well in advance and not the night before, the information will be disseminated to our local community groups and will be posted on our website, www.6thwardchicago.com,†Sawyer concluded.
