GILFORD — At least 150 people waited as many as three hours yesterday afternoon for a chance at one of eight jobs offer by central New Hampshire’s largest cable television, Internet access provider. For Ginger Fitts of Laconia, this week marks her 16th consecutive month of being out of full-time work and her third job fair. “This is the first time I’ve ever been out of work this long,” she said. Held at the Gunstock Inn, the MetroCast job fair was looking for customer service representatives, technical support representatives, a trainer and at least one engineer for their Belmont and Rochester centers. Fitts, who said she has been able to stay barely financially afloat with a series of part-time jobs, was still able to crack a few jokes and be positive while she and six others at their table waited for a personal interview. Around the room, the mood was generally much more somber. For the most part, job seekers, most of them clutching manilla envelopes holding oft-rewritten resumes, stared straight ahead or quietly conversed with one of their neighbors — he or she also quietly waiting and hoping for a full-time job with benefits. Many asked not to be identified by name and some said they were working part-time and didn’t wish to risk what little they already had. In the adjoining room, others sat in one-on-one interviews with employees brought by MetroCast from their other offices. In the center of that room sat MetroCast Regional Technical Operations see JOBS page 14
