500-PLUS JOBS ON TAP AT CANNASEARCH FAIR

When CannaSearch job fair debuted in Denver in March, just a few 
months after legal recreational marijuana sales began in Colorado, 
organizers were overwhelmed by more than 1,200 job seekers, many from 
out of state.

When the second CannaSearch takes over event space Mile High Station 
on Tuesday-with employers offering more than 500 positions in 
Colorado's still-growing marijuana industry-it will be an expanded 
event that hopes to better serve applicants and businesses alike.

In addition to the larger digs, food trucks will be on site for 
lunch. And the job fair, running 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and free for job 
seekers, is bookended by ticketed events: an executive breakfast from 
7:30-9 a.m. ($50) and an evening reception from 6-9 p.m ($15).

The breakfast, CannaSearch cofounder Todd Mitchem said, is oriented 
toward people who are looking for management and executive jobs. The 
evening reception will be more casual.

The companies looking to fill positions at CannaSearch include 
Strainwise, Medicine Man, Euflora, Walking Raven and Terrapin, 
edibles companies Dixie Elixirs and Incredibles and related 
businesses Mjardin, Amercanex and Hemp Temps. Two temp firms will be 
there, too.

And a word to the wise: This is a job fair, not a party.

"I don't go to the Pfizer job fair and take Oxycontin," Mitchem said. 
"We're stressing that there's no consumption at the event. "
