Charles Pulling was riding on
a bus during a job search when
he passed a TriMet office. He
liked the idea of working with
the community and enjoys driv­
ing, so he decided to apply to
become a bus operator.
Two years later, Pulling is
part of an effort to hire 300
more operators by the end next
year.
Because of rising retirement
rates and more operators needed
to operate new MAX lines ex­
tending into Clackamas County,
TriMet is actively recruiting for
new operators.
Pulling, a two-year operator,
is helping out with the recruit­
ment at various events through­
out the Portland-metro area. He
wishes these events were avail­
able when he applied. Talking
one-on-one with an operator and
learning more about the job
makes the process much easier.
“TriMet has affected my life
in so many ways,” Pulling said.
"I am able to help my family as
well as see my kids more often.
I also get the opportunity to
advance in TriMet and move up
in the ranks.”
Pulling encourages people to
go to the TriM et recruiting
events, talk to operators and fill
out applications.
“If you like to drive, and want
to have a fun, exciting and re­
warding job, TriMet is a great
place to work. You also get to
be part of our diverse commu­
nity. It’s a great opportunity.”
TriMet is sponsoring recruit­
ing events at various locations.
Dates and times can be found
posted around the metro area,
or go online at trimet.org/jobs.

welcoming state for people of
color.”
Currently, Portland’s African-
American community is less than
seven percent; in Oregon it’s less
than two percent, according to
the U.S. Census Bureau.
Many people of color, local or
not, may be the sole person of color
at their place of employment.
“There isn’t anything like Say
Hey, except may be a college cam­
pus w here you have a
multicultural center where all of
the community is invited,” said
Nakashima.
The people who attend Say
Hey! NW also bring diversity in
their professions. They include
community leaders and corporate
sponsors. Portland Mayor Tom
Potter has even paid a visit.
Special attention is given to
attendees who moved to Oregon
less than 18 months ago. They
are honored in the Say Hey pro­
gram book and formally intro­
duced to the crowd.
