Stories Related to Job Seekers From Variety Of Backgrounds Attend Times Leader Career Fair

WLKES-BARRE — Michael Gallagher’s career has led him to jobs on the East Coast and the West Coast, with much of his career spent in Northeastern Pennsylvania, ultimately retiring from a top-level executive position. Now, the Shavertown resident was out Tuesday seeking a part-time job — preferably in administration — in order “to keep busy.” He was one of hundreds of attendees at the Times Leader 23rd Career Fair on Tuesday at the 109th Field Artillery Armory. Gallagher, 69, said he had headed production, sales and administration at Offset Paperback in Dallas — a facility that employed 800 people — so lack of experience is not an issue. And if his father’s longevity (he’s a “huge Cubs fan” living in Gallagher’s hometown area of Chicago) is any indication of Gallagher’s ability to keep on working, he still has many good working years left in him. One of Gallagher’s first stops at the fair on Tuesday was pick up a job application at the Mohegan Sun kiosk.
