Amazon Recruiter Ben Johnson is joining us this Friday (5/6) to talk about life at Amazon and how you can fit in. Great positions for summer and part- and full-time opportunities are in abundance for moving throughout the company.

The workplace culture is “output oriented,” and if you demonstrate success and get work done at a high level, the hours get flexible, the workplace quality comparable (or even better) than any other online retail company. But Ben can tell you much more about it all on Friday. Another one of those “if you want/need a job, you can start working soon” type events! As always, great coffee and great snacks compliments of Central Market.

See you Friday, and as always – Good Luck Out There!
