While the spread of COVID-19 forces many businesses to close their doors, turning away customers and employees, some companies are hiring to keep up with demand during the outbreak.
“If somebody is temporarily out of work, we would like to offer them a job,” said Christy Lara, Director of Public Relations for Albertsons and Tom Thumb stores. Lara says the company wants to fill roughly 30 positions at all 98 stores across North Texas.
Albertsons Companies is implementing new ways to shop at many locations across the metroplex. Drive-up-and-go options available at stores provide new positions for jobseekers. Lara says positions available include e-commerce jobs, in-store shoppers to fill e-commerce orders, and delivery driving positions which do not require a CDL.
Most businesses hiring say they need full-time, part-time, temporary, and permanent positions right now.
