ELMIRA-- In this economic climate you don't usually hear about businesses hiring.  But on Monday the Economic Opportunity Program in Elmira held a job fair, hoping to find more than 20 new employees.
     EOP is hoping looking to fill various positions like teachers, classroom aides, energy service installers and accountants.
     They're all full-time jobs with benefits.
     People got to talk to hiring directors to see if they're a good match for the positions at the fair.
     The positions were vacant for a while, but now the EOP is ready to fill them with locals in need of a paycheck.
     “You know the community needs a boost and we need the employees. We have a lot of services that the community can take advantage of and we put it all together and had a job fair,” said Keith Vaughan, the EOP Human Resource Director.
     “It's interesting, I've had a bit of difficulty finding a job, when i see job openings i usually can't jump at them fast enough,” said Michael Houghton, of Horseheads.
     Vaughan says they're anticipating filling all the positions with Monday's applicants.
