Since our February and March, 2010 job fairs, we have received a tremendous amount of media coverage related to employment opportunities. A combined 5,200 individuals turned out for our job fairs, serving as an overwhelming reminder of the enormous economic and employment challenges our area faces.
The most common misconception regarding construction employment opportunities at Encore is that the entire project is getting ready to come out of the ground or that vertical development is starting. We recognize the critical need to spread accurate information related to the development of Encore to help applicants gain perspective into how and when jobs will be created.
Prior to obtaining the first permit, 40 to 50 jobs were created for the predevelopment work. With receipt of the first permit for Site Clearing and Grading, 25 construction jobs were created and have been filled. The next anticipated permit for Site Improvement will create an additional 80 to 90 jobs in variable capacities over the next year.
The vast majority of construction jobs will be created when buildings are permitted and start coming out of the ground. The Development Team’s goal is to begin the first building before the end of 2010 with a second building to follow at the beginning of 2011.
It is worth noting that the employment and economic impact of Encore extends outside of Tampa area. In addition to traditional, on-site construction jobs, Encore helps create U.S. jobs for manufacturers, suppliers, truck drivers, hospitality/food service workers, architects, engineers, and many other disciplines.

In response to your ad. I am particularly attracted to the hotel/hospitality you advertised, because I am interested in guest services/front desk and I ahve strong clericak skills. I am excited about this oppurtunity in the near future to be able to use my sj=kills to weork for a company like The Encore District, it shows leadership for many years and shows great promise for growth in the future. I have extensive experience and skills that are relevant to the hotel/hospilality positions. I am skilled in all front desk/guest services tasks. I am friendly and enthusiastic both on the and in person. This makes me a good person to work with and enables me to relate well to and with customers. I am certain my talents would be valuable to Encore, a company with a strong focus on customer service. I believe I would be a good candidate for the hotel/hospitality position you may seek to fill in the near future, and I look for ward to hearing from you soon. Thank You, Pamela Harris

What types of jobs will be available when you start hiring. It’s May 5th 2011.
Looking at these post on this site, either there is little coordination for hiring qualified people, or the individuals looking for jobs didn’t take advantage of hiring opportunities. There are a lot of unemployed, under employed people in Tampa, but looking at the comments the individuals doing the hiring don’t have a sound plan for hiring. Maybe they should host another job fair for people interested in a job, and if the person applying for a job should be given a time-line for hiring. If a applicant hasn’t received a response after one or two months then they are not going to be hired.
