Why these Amazon job fairs are important
If you attend the Amazon job fair, you can learn about over 30,000 positions that are needed to be filled. That includes full and part-time jobs.
And these aren’t temporary, seasonal jobs that normally get filled to ramp up over the holidays. We’re talking about permanent positions that come with benefits.
Open positions range from warehouse workers that make at least $15 per hour to software engineers that can earn over $100,000 per year.
You might not know this, but Amazon has a $15 minimum wage. So, if you’re looking to get in on the ground floor or just want a part-time gig to make some extra money, this could be a good opportunity.
Plus, the company offers a way to take control of your career path with its career development program. You can learn new skills through Amazon-funded upskilling opportunities.
Here are some of the jobs Amazon is looking to fill:
- Software development
- Sales, advertising and account management
- Project management
- Marketing
- Human resources
- Finance and accounting
- Editorial, writing and content management
- Customer service
- Database administration
