A cornucopia of jobs available at career center, director says
Scott Gage, director of the Genesee County Job Development Center, has a simple message for anybody looking for a job or a better job: come on down.
There are currently 400 job openings listed with the career center and not nearly enough applicants to fill them, Gage said.
Yes, many of the jobs are entry-level production jobs, but they're good paying jobs, Gage said. There's also a number of professional-level jobs available.
The recession-era fear people had about taking a stab at a new job at a chance for career advancement or higher pay has disappeared, Gage said. More people are looking to move up, which helps create openings for other workers and it's also the sign of a strong local job market.
"There are not a lot of job seekers coming through our doors," Gage said.
