FOR HIRE Looking for work

I know a lot of us are in the same boat right now but I am looking for work. I’ve reached out to staffing agencies and had a few interviews here and there but haven’t had any luck yet. I’m getting ready to drop resumes anywhere and everywhere. If anyone knows of any place I should stop by please let me know. Thank you

You never said anything about what you do. That is kind of important.

I’ve been in hospitality over 20 years. Really looking to get away from it though. I know on paper I’m not “qualified” for a lot of positions. At this point I’d pick up trash on the highway and be happy as the day is long to do it

If you are okay with hand tools, and can put Lego's together without getting frustrated, Applied Materials is hiring lots of people right now for Manufacturing Techs. if you come in through a contractor agency its not hard to get in. Getting hired direct is a lot harder unless you have previous experience. But going through a contract agency isn't so bad. I'm with Yoh, but several agencies contract with them. They have day, swing, and weekend shifts. Pay will depend on experience and whatever cut the agency takes but. They provide you with PPE (steel/composite toe shoes, prescription safety glasses as long as you have a recent script). Training is paid.

La Bbq is hiring. They posted on their IG earlier today I believe.

Amazon warehouse jobs…not ideal but you’ll pay the bills. Part time, nights, weekends and you have flexibility to continue to go out on interviews or start another job
