Wells Fargo job fair to fill more than 900 slots in Tempe, Valley

Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, a division of Wells Fargo Bank, will hold a hiring event 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Jan. 9 and 10 at the Phoenix Convention Center to fill more than 900 new jobs.

The employment expansion comes after Wells Fargo announced a new facility in Tempe. The company will be hiring employees for the Tempe office, as well as other existing mortgage locations.

When fully operational, the new building will house existing employees and create 300 new, full-time positions. Additionally, the two existing Tempe locations at 711 W. Broadway Road and 1150 W. Washington Street will add 600 jobs.

Jacqueline Hill with Wells Fargo in Phoenix said they're looking for folks with mortgage experience to run their new home loan operations center.

The new Tempe center opens in February.

Hill said the open positions are in loan underwriting and processing, telesales, lending, audit and quality control.

She said they're offering very competitive wages with plenty of opportunity for folks to grow.

Hill recommended applicants bring at least two copies of their resumes to the job fair and expect to interview with two to three people.

To make the process quicker, she said people can fill out an application online before heading to the job fair.

The Phoenix Convention Center is located at 100 N. Third Street in Phoenix.
