If you, or someone you know, is looking for work, or just looking to earn some extra cash, the Intrust Arena has a deal for you.

The arena is conducting a gigantic job fair on Saturday, looking to fill more than 400 part-time positions at the new event center.

"Anything and everything. From tickets to ushers to guest services and everything in between," said Arena General Manager Chris Presson.

Other jobs include working at the box office, in guest relations, operations and food and beverage. Pay starts at minimum wage in some spots, but can go way up from there.

"It all depends on experience and whether or not it's a management position," said Presson.

For those hired, work would begin the end of November through early December. Of course, with the slow economy, they've already gotten several calls and resumes from job seekers. And for those going out to the job fair, get there early. They're expecting anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 people to show up.

The job fair is in the Century Two Expo Hall from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.
