ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Albuquerque Public Schools held a job fair July 8, but the demand to fill hundreds of positions persists.
About 120 people applied for a job Thursday and 20 of them were offered a position with APS.
"We're a little higher than normal but not really significant amount," said Scott Elder, APS Superintendent.
Some folks walked out as future teachers.
"I got a job as an elementary school teacher and I love it and couldn't believe it, but I came, and I got a job, and I’m really excited,” said Sonia Chancey, APS hire.
But the need goes beyond the classroom.
