All the new St Louis, Missouri managers were hired in the first four months of the year, with half as internal promotions and the other half coming from other companies, including Edward Jones and Stifel Financial Corp.

The supervisory team is comprised of a director and three team leads who manage the firm’s network of regional supervisors who, in turn, serve as points of contact for the independent business owners for monitoring trades and training.

These recent St Louis, MO hires are in addition to six other professionals who were brought on board this year to recruit advisers and guide them as they explore their options - St. Louis Jobs

Get your resumes ready! Five prominent St Louis area employers are sponsoring the “Who’s Hiring Now” job fair slated for early February 2010 and sponsored by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis.

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce announced this week that Prudential Financial, the Brown Shoe Company, Standing Partnership, Verizon Communications, Arbonne International, the Centene Corp. and the Federal Reserve Bank have agreed to participate in an event aimed at improving the job prospects of minorities and women in St Louis Missouri.

College students on track to graduate this Spring are also welcome and encouraged to post their resumes on the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Website.

“We are hearing that corporations want to diversify their managerial talent pool so we hope to meet that demand by sponsoring a job fair that can help meet that demand,” said Jorge Riopedre, executive director of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

The St Louis Job fair will run from 6-8 p.m. on February 10, 2010 at the chamber’s Technology and Resource Center, 3611 South Grand Blvd. Suite 105 St. Louis, MO 63118

Ramirez; Maria Isabel Thompson; Mario Santander; B. A. Villarreal; and Luis G. Zambrana. Shortly thereafter, the Chamber was accepted as an affiliate of the United Stated Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC), which currently has more than two hundred affiliates across the nation.

The Chamber has striven to support and promote Hispanic small businesses. In 2009, the organization took a major step to solidifying its role as the premier Hispanic organization in the St. Louis region when it opened a Technology & Resource Center (TRC) in the City of St. Louis. The endeavor was made possible through an appropriation from the federal government obtained by Senator Christopher “Kit” Bond. The computers at the TRC were purchased with an Accelerator Grant provided by AT&T. And the software for the computers was donated by the Microsoft Corporation.
