VisionZero.LACity.org hosted a job fair at LADOT Headquarters today.

I was thankfully wrangled in to the event by 2 nice ladies, who offered me a flyer.

I'm particularly hopeful about the job proposition, being that I'm currently employed only as the pigeon-feeder of the area, and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation is the job-sponsor.

I was feeding the pigeons and sparrows (obviously).

The sparrows try to wrangle hold over a snack-size Twix bar.

It's an exciting prospect, and I was interviewed by Richard, who holds 2 degrees, one of them in Urban Planning. It feels like this could be a fortuitous job prospect for me, if I'm accepted. 

I filled out a job application ad hoc, prior to being interviewed.

The job description is manifold. The Vision Zero LA project, essentially, hosts events and does outreach amongst individuals and the community at large in promoting and showcasing the latest developments in the transportation and public works sector. 

I could, potentially, be doing outreach and public engagement as a canvasser, with potential to move up on the career ladder as time goes on.

I'm supposed to hear back via email between tomorrow and Friday.
