Specific recruitment dates include sessions at the Melrose Library in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island. The FDNY is seeking emergency medical technicians, while NYC Health + Hospitals is recruiting security officers and nursing assistants. Additionally, the HireNewYork firm will host an event for university graduates in Manhattan.
