Soundview clicked last night with the Bronx’s Tech Job Fair, wiring NYC’s spring at a rec center. Recruiter Mia Chen handed résumés as 300 hunted, a free-entry shot at gigs. It’s borough bytes—pure BX vibe, stakes hot. A kid pitched skills; a pro nabbed an offer. ‘Bronx works—this is it,’ Chen says, stacking cards. The hall turned marketplace.
The fair’s fresh—April 2’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing booths by 10 a.m. Chen’s a Mott Haven hustler; last night’s crowd hit max—hands shook. A latecomer nabbed a slot; ties straightened—NYC grit glowed. Offers hit 50—jobs ruled. #BronxTechJobs trended; Queens wants a desk.
Some griped—’Too packed,’ sniped a jobless, dodging lines. Printer jammed—fixed fast; hope held. A rival’s pitching a Fordham fair, splitting suits. Still, 400 stayed—work reigned. Soundview’s never hired so bold.
Chen’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a workshop if spring bites. ‘NYC’s grind—this lifts it,’ she says, packing flyers. The fair’s a Bronx win—grit meets green. It’s a job rush; catch the next. Bring a CV—gigs call.
