Need a job? Well, here is good news for you: A huge job fair is going to be held at the Hindu Temple and Cultural Center in Bridgewater on May 16.

Over 450 positions will be available at the fair, which is being put on by the Greater Raritan Workforce Development Board; 60 employers from Hunterdon, Somerset and surrounding counties will be on hand for job seekers.
