Buscando trabajo
Buscando Trabajo: Looking for Work in NYC is a “digital bulletin board” that has helped hundreds of people find restaurant, deli, prep, and bar-back positions in New York’s five boroughs. It has garnered over 19,000 organic followers on a Facebook group and page.
​
During COVID-19 my team of 3 volunteers has made over 260+ free resumes for people looking for jobs. This effort was featured on NY1 Noticias and Despierta America on Univision.
Started in 2015 to help former co-workers look for dishwasher and delivery jobs in the City, the group is now a resource thousands of people throughout the 5 boroughs use to find jobs such as line cook, delivery boy, dishwasher, busboy and bar back - those positions that make up the backbone of the restaurant industry.
Pictures of help wanted signs in windows are posted to a Facebook group along with the directions so those interested can apply for the job in person. Hundreds of job seekers have found jobs through Buscando Trabajo.
