Add comment August 7th, 2008

Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois and Wisconsin Stateline Area, Inc. will be
adding 25 part-time and full-time positions to staff a new store location that will
open later this fall at 8010 N. 2nd Street in Machesney Park. The public is invited
to attend a job fair on Tuesday, August 12 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM to learn
more about and apply for the positions.
Job fair attendees will have the chance to meet with an operations
representative, who will evaluate their application to see if their skills and
experience fit with an open position. Job duties will include accepting, sorting,
processing and selling gently used goods. Goodwill is also seeking candidates
for hourly supervisory positions that will oversee staff members. Applicants
should bring a pen, driver’s license or state ID and Social Security card.
“Because our organization is growing, we have an ongoing need for additional
employees and rely on qualified individuals to help us be successful in living out
our mission,” says Sam Schmitz, executive director. “We look forward to hosting
the job fair and giving prospective candidates the opportunity to visit our new
store location and meet our team.”
Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois and Wisconsin Stateline Area, Inc. is a
community-based nonprofit organization that provides education and
