[...] scheduled for an early 2012 launch in Frederick, near the chef’s original dining destination, Volt . Tentatively called North Market Kitchen for its address at 331 N. Market St., the 10,000-square foot space will be a combination 200-plus seat dining room, specialty store and exhibition kitchen with multiple stations serving pasta and charcuterie made in-house, a raw bar, cheese counter, patisserie and rotisserie.

Voltaggio says he’s modeling the business on Eataly, the sprawling Italian-themed food emporium in New York. “Primarily a restaurant,” North Market Kitchen will “also be an amenity for transient diners and downtown residents,” says the chef, who plans to stock the shelves of the “rustic-industrial” venue with some of the ingredients he uses at Volt. The ambitious project calls for lots of staff. Voltaggio says he’ll be hiring “40 to 50 cooks to make this happen.”

More jobs and more food = good news.

Here’s the skinny (see the whole web page HERE):

Pre-register Today So You Can Avoid Lines At Check-in And Receive A Free & Highlighted Job Seeker Account On Our Job Board. Even if you cannot attend, it is best to create your free job seeker account, post your resume and apply directly for jobs on our job board. This is the ONLY WAY employers will view your resume in advance of the event.

I should also mention that the Job Fair is on Monday September 30th, between 10 AM and 2 PM. I guess you’d be able to take a 1/2 day off if you’re driving down 270 every day, if you think it’s worth the effort. My experience has been that landing a job at a Job Fair is not a high probability prospect, but I bet there are some readers between jobs that could make it.
