Nearly 20 West Michigan employers will be at Woodland Mall on Saturday, May 4, seeking to fill 100-plus positions in the mall and around the community during an Employment Expo.
Job seekers will have the opportunity to learn about positions with local employers such as Manpower Grand Rapids, Dean Transportation, Forge Industrial Staffing, SMS Service Management Systems, EG Workforce Solutions and more from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Woodland Mall retailers will also be participating with employment opportunities, such as permanent positions, including full-time management roles.
Recently announced first-to-market retailer A’Beautiful Soul will be hiring, along with Chico’s, which will be revealing its remodeled space in the Von Maur Wing on May 15. LensCrafters, Buckle, JCPenney, Soma Intimates and Victoria’s Secret will also be participating.
Hourly wages for entry-level sales associate positions at the mall range from $12 to $14. The average salary for management positions is $55,000.
“We are delighted to host this expo again this year and help connect job seekers with West Michigan employers,” said Cecily McCabe, Woodland Mall marketing director. “Woodland Mall is excited to participate as our own retailers offer many different career options with competitive wages for anyone interested in retail.
“It’s a great time to get involved because of the ongoing redevelopment at the mall, which is adding to our retail selections and creating a special shopping experience for consumers.”
Nearly 6,000 visitors are expected to pass through Woodland Mall on the day of the Employment Expo. Booths are still available for additional employers to participate. Registration includes free tables, chairs, wi-fi and parking. Businesses interested in registering may complete an application online.
