Taco Bell plans to hire at least 5,000 workers in a single day later this month when the Mexican-inspired food chain temporarily converts restaurant parking lots into job fairs.
On-the-spot interviews will take place at nearly 2,000 company and franchise-owned locations across the U.S. on April 21, the company announced Tuesday. The annual hiring event is being done differently for a second year in a row due to the ongoing corona pandemic. With an eye toward curbing the spread of COVID-19, Taco Bell hiring managers will hold the employment interviews outside in parking lots, patios and designated drive-up stations where job hunters won't need to leave their cars. All participants will have to stay six feet apart and wear a face mask.
