Costco Seeks 200+ Workers at East Windsor Job Fair Before Fall Store Opening

1 articles · Updated · AM 800 CKLW · Aug 24

Summary

  • More than 200 Costco jobs will be up for grabs at a Sept. 23 hiring event in Windsor, where qualified candidates may be interviewed and confirmed for employment on the spot.
  • The push is meant to staff Costco’s new east Windsor store ahead of its planned opening later this fall; the job fair runs from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Serbian Centre.
  • Walk-ins are allowed, but applicants who apply online in advance will get priority for interviews, and organizers are urging job seekers to bring resumes and prepare for recruiters.
  • A second career fair follows Sept. 24 at the Caboto Club, where more than 30 employers — including Ford, Caesars Windsor and Windsor Regional Hospital — will recruit for the remaining openings.
  • More than 400 positions are available across both events, giving Windsor-area residents direct access to hiring managers across retail, manufacturing, public service and health care.
