Amazon Career Day is September 17th, including a giant recruiting event in Chicago.
Amazon is looking to hire around 30,000 people.
The company will be holding career day job fairs in Arlington, Virginia, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Nashville, and Seattle.
These are not seasonal positions. The jobs start at $15-an-hour warehouse personnel to software engineers who will make over $100,000 a year.
From ABC 7 Chicago:
The job fairs may be a necessity for Amazon. With unemployment near a 50-year low, workers have more options and employers need to work harder to fill empty positions. Earlier this summer, Amazon announced a program to get more of its employees into tech roles, pledging to retrain 100,000 workers with new skills
Amazon said the hiring events will take place Sept. 17 in six locations where it thinks it can find the strongest talent: Arlington, Virginia — where it’s building a second headquarters; Boston; Chicago; Dallas; Nashville, Tennessee; and its hometown of Seattle.
Amazon already has more than 650,000 employees worldwide, making it the second-biggest U.S.-based private employer behind Walmart Inc. And that number will likely rise: Amazon’s second headquarters in Arlington is expected to employ 25,000 people in the next 12 years. And the company has moved into more industries, including health care and advertising.
At the job fairs next week, Amazon said about 1,000 recruiters will help candidates apply for positions, prepare them for job interviews and give them more information on the roles.
