Finding a Job

There are lots of options online to search for open job positions and it can sometimes be intimidating. It can help to focus locally so you are only seeing opening in the area. If you are willing and able to relocate, there are options there as well.

If you are looking for a job in food service or with another corporate entity (Dollar General, Wendy’s, etc.) almost every company has open job positions posted on their own website. Every site will have a link for these postings, usually under “Employment,” “Join Our Team,” “Jobs,” etc. Then you can narrow the postings to the zip code you are looking for. If you know a specific place you are wanting to work, try this first when looking for open positions.
