Glad to see Battle Creek Public Schools on here. They need good support staff badly. My kids go there and you can tell they're stretched thin.
Michigan Works on Capital Ave is also super helpful if you need resume help or interview prep. They don't charge anything and the staff actually knows the local employers.
Would love to see wages listed too. "Competitive" means different things to different companies and it'd help people narrow things down faster.
For anyone looking at manufacturing, ResourceMFG is actually a good way to get your foot in the door at some of these bigger plants. Got my current job that way a few years back.
Didn't realize Consumers Energy had openings. That's a solid career with good benefits. Definitely worth checking out if you have any utility or electrical background.
FireKeepers always seems to be hiring. My brother has worked there for 4 years and said they treat people pretty well, especially in housekeeping.
Good list but I'll believe the BlueOval jobs are actually available when I see it. That whole Marshall situation has been up and down for two years now.
Thank you for putting this all together in one place! I'm going to share this with my daughter who just graduated from KCC and is looking for something in healthcare.
