To prepare for what it described as a “heavy schedule” of upcoming meetings and conventions, Gold Key | PHR said Tuesday that it will host a job fair Friday at The Main, it newest property in downtown Norfolk.

Gold Key | PHR said the new positions would add to an existing roster of 350 onsite staff. “We pride ourselves on excellent service at all of our properties,” Gold Key | PHR’s Executive Vice President of Administration, Elizabeth Weller, said in a statement.  “We are looking to maintain a high level of service as the popularity of our restaurants, Grain, Varia and Saltine, has exponentially grown since opening. It is exciting to be in a position of growing a staff based on demand, and we hope we can find those additional 100 new team members this Friday.”
