Job Seeker Q&A: You Asked, We Answered

Q: Does a "Seasonal" production job at Kellogg actually pay $28 an hour?

A: Yes, it does! Manufacturing plants often need a massive surge of temporary workers to keep production lines running smoothly while their full-time union employees take their summer vacations. WK Kellogg Co pays top dollar for these roles, making it the ultimate short-term job for college students or anyone needing a serious cash boost.

Q: I saw Schneider has a recruiting event on April 20th. Do I need a CDL to go?

A: Not at all! The event is designed for experienced drivers and people who are just thinking about getting into trucking. If you don't have a license, you can talk to recruiters 1-on-1 about company-sponsored training to see if the lifestyle is right for you. Just show up and ask questions!

Q: Pennfield Schools is hiring a Library Aide for $19.50/hr. Can anyone apply?

A: Generally, you need a High School diploma and the ability to pass a background check, but it's an incredible role for anyone who is organized and loves working with students. Plus, you get to work standard school hours, meaning you get your evenings, weekends, and holidays completely free.
