Job Fair Friday

The soybean oil plant is holding a job fair Friday and Saturday. With a starting wage of $20/hour all five sessions should be busy. They are looking to hire 50 people and will have to go through 500 suspects to get to 150 prospects to interview. Hardly anyone not in skilled trades makes $20/hour around here and they are offering $30/hour for skilled positions. It’s not as big as landing an Amazon warehouse, but it is better for the local economy. I might as well give it a shot on Friday.
