Restaurants and shops at the Denver International Airport are looking to fill more than 400 jobs Saturday at a job fair.

DIA’s job fair is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the Denver Field House, 1600 Federal Blvd. Participants are asked to register for the free event here.

Businesses are hiring jobs in the food and beverage industry, management, retail and spa services.

Some companies will be conducting onsite interviews. Employees working at the airport are subject to a background check — a felony conviction could disqualify you.

Approximately 35,000 people work in many different industries and professions at DIA, according to the airport’s website.

Business & data reporter Adrian D. Garcia can be reached via email at agarcia@denverite.com or twitter.com/adriandgarcia.
