Hundreds Line Up for Gildan Job Openings

As the temperature fell and winds blew through the parking lot, hundreds of people lined up Tuesday afternoon to apply for jobs at Gildan.

The company held a "Job Fair" Tuesday, looking to fill roughly 170 positions over the next six months at its yarn-spinning plant off Heilig Road.

"It would mean everything to me," Patience Joaquim said, explaining that she had two children to support. "I need a job."

Joaquim has been out of work since June 1, 2012. What's it like trying to land a full-time job in this region?
