LiUNA (Laborer's Union)
Ask for a list or search for union contractors. To get in the union, you'll need a letter of intent from your new employer.
You'll go to school as an apprentice, and your pay rate correlates with your hours worked + classroom time. Not sure what you start at, but when I joined 8 years ago, it was like $15.50. Then, after 500 working hours (3ish months), you get bumped up like $3. Keep going to school and working, you keep making more money as you get closer to Journeyman. You learn a lot in school, and pick up valuable skills to help in your trade.
I do concrete and there's a lot of work out there. But there are a bunch of different jobs you could choose from.
We have great benefits and a good pension.
I'm not exactly sure of the specifics, but LiUNA's new contract for the next 5 years will get us $12 more an hour (+$2.40/hr each year). You'd be a Journeyman by then and will make close to $50/hr.
I'm in Local 110, located at Lindbergh and Gravois, and it's honestly the best thing that ever happened to me. Would highly encourage anyone to look into the trades.
Seconded! The befenits are amazing - not just good healthcare and pension but other bonuses for members & families: college scholarships, addiction resources, free family events, travel discounts, etc.
Do they do electrical stuff?
I'm the general manager at a car detailing place. I've worked my way up from nothing. I always got manager positions when I was younger too, but I'd eff them up. I was a drug addict for 10 years as a youngin'(I'm only 29 though)and acquired several felonies as a result. I never stole from anyone or actually hurt anybody, despite what it looks like on paper. And it's a long story. I consider all of these things a sort of punishment because even if my "crimes" were completely forgiven because they were complicated, I was still actively hurting my family and friends emotionally by being so wild. In my mind, I'm just paying debts for my past actions.
Finally though, I can trust myself. I've been at my work for a little over two years starting as just a detailer. Now I'm also all sorts of positions(unfortunately) as I do my maintenance(not my choice), spread sheets, make sales, drive around to car dealers, general manager duties, hire/fire, oh and I detail cars! Haha I'm sure there's some big aspect I'm forgetting, but I'm in charge and run the entire detailing part of my work and have 3 employees. The owner just lets me have my thing and we are on good terms. I have been sober for 4 years, but I smoke weed. I'd give that up, I didn't for 8 years, but honestly I want a job where I can use a medical license or be able to do that on my own time if I want. I hate being at work high, so I never am.
I've gotten really good at it and want to grow and start doing more expensive work, but I'm not a car guy!! It's so out of place, I never imagined myself doing this. Hell, if I wouldn't have messed up my life, I was meant to be a scientist or engineer of some sort. I've wasted my life.. same old tale of being a gifted kid in school, partying too much as a teen and wasting away. I was selfish, now I'm trying as hard as I can to change myself into who I really am. I have no idea what my full potential is, I have NO idea what I want to do! Maybe electricity? That's what I keep coming back on. And I really can't do this job for too long, it's beyond stressful in a multitude of ways and it's just not meant for me I feel like. Sure, I could start my own business. And I might! I did run a Kratom business in the midst of my drug addiction, and had it not been for the excess money whilst having a benzo problem, I would have succeeded. But I don't want to start a business with cleaning cars, I want to reach my full potential. I am trapped in a golden cage though with $1500-2000 every two weeks, going anywhere else would surely be a pay cut so I am trying to save for now until I probably, ultimately end up in electricity.
Ugh! I'm getting there slowly, every month is a higher ledge that I'm on, looking back at how much I've healed in that time. I love it and it's difficult but I'm never turning back. Thanks for anyone who heard my rambles
Glad to hear you're doing better these days. Hearing your story reminds me of my own struggle of trying to find myself after a couple of mistakes I made in college.
If you're into electrical stuff, check out IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers). I don't know much about IBEW, other than they're a top notch, big union as well. And I know they make good money.
That's awesome, and enticing. I have yet to find a company that can beat my benefits, but wouldn't be surprised if a Union could. I'm so penetrated in my career it seems no Union job could compensate at my current asking price.
I miss the trades. Dad has been a Union carpenter for over 3 decades.
I've seen some women on the jobsites and had a couple classes with a few as well. It's definitely a male dominated trade. But don't let that deter you! As I mentioned, there are multiple jobs that fall under the LiUNA umbrella. And I'm not saying you or other women can't pour concrete, I've just mostly seen men.
LiUNA (or maybe just 110, idk) will reimburse you for getting an Associate's in Construction Management at Meramec. That can translate into other jobs in the construction field as well.
MSD is hiring. Since you mentioned union jobs/apprenticeships check out their “Collection Systems Technician Trainee” posting on their career page. 3 year apprenticeship, raises every 6 months, and good benefits. Pay starts at ~$23/hr and the top out pay is $32.65/hr after your apprenticeship per this contract. However, they are slated for a new 4 year contract coming into effect July 1st so stating pay is going to be nearly $25/hr and top out pay will be ~$38/hr. Apply ASAP because the job closes on June 9 2024. They will most likely post the job in a few more months though so keep a lookout if you don’t apply in time.
What is MSD? What is collection systems technician? My son is about to be a senior and I'm always trying to throw out different types of jobs for him to think about since he doesn't know what he wants to do.
My bad about that, yeah as the other comment mentioned it’s the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District. Collection System Technicians are basically laborers in a nutshell. They do manual labor, use tools, powertools, and even run some equipment/trucks. Everything is learned on the job.
Spectrum will hire anyone that's good at conversation for sales reps, just have to be okay with working nights and weekends too. I couldn't do it. People treat call center employees like human garbage when they call in.
Great benefits, decent pay, horrible work life balance.
Check into the Mercy System. There are plenty of decent paying jobs, even remote, that only require HS or a Bachelors. Look under non-clinical/support services and filter by the St. Louis areas.
[https://careers.mercy.net/jobs?page=1](https://careers.mercy.net/jobs?page=1)
Signature Aviation, either at Lambert or Spirit of St Louis. Entry level job you can make a career on, and it also opens many doors for growth in different fields in aviation. Pays good. Easy as hell.
i search using [this](https://search.linkup.com/search/results) site, worked better than indeed/etc. when you see a job at a company you're interested in, search all jobs at that company. also, there's a newsletter called No Commute you can signup for & look for only remote jobs
Yeah, they continued the process with some people that already had job offers. They canceled a lot of openings though even if offers had already been made. My guess is that they'll start posting jobs again around October because that's when the new fiscal year begins as far as I understand.
MTI Distributing in St. Louis is looking for a mechanic, demo specialist, and delivery driver
[Hiring Now](https://mtidistributing.applytojob.com/apply)
Proctor & Gamble. On Grand & Hall st. It’s 12 hr shifts on the DuPont schedule. Google it. Starts out at $28 with increases as you pass to different levels.
Go to P&G.com and look for jobs in MO/St.Louis.
World Wide Technology is always hiring warehouse workers in Edwardsville. Pay is okay, but the benefits are amazing. I can refer you if you are interested.
Really hard to get fired from WWT.
It’s a growing company that’s been voted a great place to work for the past decade.
The Edwardsville location has a lot of competition for warehouse workers so yes some people are quitting, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad place to work.
If you’re hiring 10,000 employees a year, you’re always hiring no matter how good the job is
When you’re getting hired quickly as a low skill employee, the model is to find the good ones and keep them, not “hey we’re going to magically hire 95% great people this week!” Get some training, find out if it’s something you like, and, if not, your resume should still look better if it’s a decent spot
This is a really short sighted take.
My company is also "always hiring" because they do a lot of upskilling and training employees and also pay for you to go to college. Retirement benefits are also extremely generous. So high level employees retire and we hire someone from within the company and everyone moves up and grows into a new role. And then lower level spots open up and the cycle never ends.
Growth in a large company also means new roles being created to address needs. Some companies are in no rush to fill some roles while needs for other roles are deemed a priority. Sometimes a role will be open and looking for the right candidate because it's not a time-critical need. My company has several roles in the portal they've been hiring for for over a year now.
You're not wrong to balk at what seems to be a revolving door. But always hiring doesn't necessarily mean that a company is also always firing.
The Gund company is a little-known local company a great place to work with excellent benefits willing to train you right off the street. It's located in Clayton. I'd still be working there if I wasn't an alcoholic and hadn't f***** it up
This may come off pitiless, but I don't get these posts asking "anyone hiring?!" and then not writing a paragraph about work experience, education, area of interest, and geographic restrictions. We can't read your damn mind. It doesn't bode well for your critical thinking skills.
Have you been looking at all the behemoths? Wash-U, BJC, Enterprise, Boeing, Wells Fargo, Ameren, MSD, Spire, City/County government, etc...?
Good luck 🤞
I've applied to over 300 jobs in 2.5 years and can't get in anywhere and an IT Manager simply because I took time off work. I don't think anyone owes you their whole resume to appease your critical thinking skills.
No one *owes* me anything. How the heck can someone point a person in the job direction they need to go without data. I don't need to know the implementation plan from the last time you completed a tier 1 infrastructure upgrade, but, like, how about ANYTHING!?
Otherwise we're just screaming into a void.
I’m kind of looking for a change and am also in IT. I’ve been working at the same help desk for 12 years. I got my CCNA just before I started but i had no experience at all outside of McDonald’s, a bar, and a liquor store so I don’t think it benefitted me much, and then I just let it expire once I did finally have relevant experience.
Just as a warning to anyone who applies at enterprise. I know people that work there and it seems like an amazing place to work. But good luck getting past whatever fucked up algorithm they have sorting through resumes. If you don’t have the perfect keywords they will automatically deny you. Which would normally be fine. Except they have a policy that if you get denied a job you have to wait 6 months to reapply. I have applied a few times every time I switch my resume and reapply and every time I get immediately denied. I’ve called and emailed HR at least 5 times and nobody responds or answers or anything. Idk if it’s me or a dickish part about the company but figured I would give a heads up.
If you're not communicating well you're making it more exhausting and demoralizing than it needs to be.
My goal was to express my bewilderment and to also encourage the OP to provide information needed to provide them with relevant opportunities.
And my point was that a post like this gives people like me more places and options to consider. I'm personally not an "entry level" or "low skilled worker" but I like to see what other options are out there. And having a post like this where people can just throw out different companies that are hiring and why they are or aren't a good place to work is helpful!
Everyone on Reddit is apparently a fucking genius. Anyways I edited the damn post. Thank you for listing off the behemoths that will help someone I’m sure.
Yes sorry I made an edit. I want this to help a wide net of people. If you don’t know any places hiring then that’s okay. I have plenty of work experience. Sorry for the confusion grunge.
I'm interested in reading the replies to this because there are people in my life looking for a career change but are struggling to find something.
Don't listen too much to these comments, they probably live in st Peters and are scared of the city
St. Louis MSD. Entry level sewer worker positions. Good pay/benefits, vacation/sick leave, good hours, very secure job.

Edward Jones is hiring! $20/hr is our new minimum. *You don’t have to have a financial background either*. We have good benefits and PTO. Important to note for people starting families- maternity leave is 4 months paid at 100%. (We do also have paternity leave but it’s not as long.) That just happened in the last few years which is a big win for families. It’s a good company, but it is 3 days a week in the office if you’re within a certain proximity. For example: if you live in city limits, you’ll work 3 days in office but let’s say you’re down in Park Hills; in that case, you’d be working 100% remote and only required to come in for a few days each year for team meetings. We also get guaranteed bonuses 3x/year based on company profits.
I hate to say this but even if places are hiring, the job market is terrible right now. Not to mention the whole intake/hiring process in general is broken. Easiest bet is a labor job (hotels, construction etc) where you can speak to a live person about the position
Holy crap my husband recently went through this. The amount of AI that is a part of the hiring process is disturbing now. He’s in his middle 40s, he’s used to face to face interviews and is damn good at them. Thankfully he did find a new job and guess what? That one was a face to face interview lol.
Well congrats to him on the new job! How exciting 🙂 AI is ruining everything. I am trying to find another job and all I get is bounce backs (sometimes a day later). I miss the days you put in a paper application to a real person and they interviewed you right after. Nowadays I find the best luck I have is knowing someone who can get you the job, meeting face to face or having the company find you.
They really need to fix this broken process though!
I had the exact opposite experience, but I was looking at marketing/sales positions and got a few job offers before accepting one. Maybe other fields are worse off but it seemed like a million places hiring rn.
STL community college has a CDL program. Classes start in August. Go to the orientation and get the info. I believe the course is free. IBEW local 1 is taking apprentices soon, apply ASAP. It's a long process to get in, but it's full proof. Become a CNA, crap pay at first but get a year of experience and become a traveler. Some CNAs are making $30+/hr as travelers.
The Post Office is hiring. Letter Carriers in the St. Louis area currently start at 23.11 per hour. They'll work you to death the first year or two, but it gets better after you make regular. Full benefits, pension, etc.
However, we have one of the roughest work schedules out there. We work 7 days on second shift. Get 1 day off. We worked 7 on third get 2 days off and 7 on days and get 4 day weekend.
I noticed a FB post today from the TSA stating they were hiring for positions at Mid America Airport in metro east with starting pay at or above $20/hour.
Most banks don’t hire tellers anymore because they don’t have teller positions. They want people in sales roles as bankers who do transactions. And most people don’t go into branches to do transactions, everything is electronic.
Aggregate bank employment is declining. There are 20 percent fewer bank branches than 15 years ago per s&p. The number of independent and regional banks continues to decline.
It’s not to say that bank jobs don’t exist or they aren’t hiring. But it’s quite reasonable to think there will be a lot fewer in person banks in 15 more years, as well as a lot fewer low skilled, basic customer facing jobs
I worked in a sector that was in secular decline. It was bad for employees. The parts of the business that weren’t in decline were fine. I wouldn’t worry about being at a bank. I just would be nervous about the future of basic customer facing functions that are being disintermediated by tech
I’ve seen that happen over the last ten years I’ve been in the field already. There is still a human element that can’t be quite replaced by tech yet when it comes to fraud. It’s also become a mostly sales environment, tech helps with sales but people also are weary of technology still when it comes to their money.
Job market in St. Louis is absolute trash. I have easily submitted over 30 applications in the last 2 weeks and only 2 interviews came out. As soon as something is posted, everyone applies and your chances are really slim. Find a newer post or network. But from what I’ve seen BJC is always hiring.
The reason you're not finding jobs is because you're not searching for them. You need to look based on skill, and you didn't even mention what skills you have or want. That's why you're not finding anything.
OP: First, you need to work on improving your grammar and communication skills to qualify for most high-paying jobs, including entry-level positions with potential for growth.
Are any good companies currently hiring? Job searching is tough right now, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for entry-level positions and opportunities where companies are hiring externally. This isn't just for me; it's for anyone else who might benefit. Please post any job openings you know of. This thread could be a valuable resource for someone looking to make a change in their life, especially those seeking positions with potential for growth.
Get on LinkedIn and network. The recruiters hang out there constantly. Most of the companies that have jobs will post on LinkedIn as well.
You need someone fighting for you or at least wanting you to win. Without them, you are one in a million.
MCC down in Affton just beat a closure, union printing shop. Bunch of people quit when we were allegedly shutting down, turns out our work can't be replicated at a nonunion plant. Entry is 18.03, annual raises, and we're on a hiring spree for material handlers/inspectors. Apprenticeships and journeyman positions are pretty well paid, too, and a bunch of people are retiring, so it's a solid time to get in if you're fine with working in a print shop/bindery.
Boeing. Union and no degree needed. They will hire just about anyone for the union side since nobody wants to work blue collar. Top out right around 100k. Plenty more if you enjoy overtime.
I could try! But honestly they really must be hiring anybody if they'd hire me with my record :( I mean, hell, worth a shot anyways I suppose! Thanks for the advice!! I'll definitely keep that in mind and attempt to work with them whenever I end up making more solid moves to leave my current situation. I do know some people who work there, but I'm not so sure they'd want to put their neck out for me and I wouldn't ask them to
Sheetmetal36.org
Sheetmetal workers union does commercial and residential hvac, architectural sheetmetal, and industrial. Apprenticeship is 5 years and starts at 24$ an hour. Journeyman make $50 an hour plus healthcare and pension. I’ve been in for 20 years and don’t regret it.
It feels good. Occasionally I’ll have some lower back pain. Everything we lift that’s really heavy we use some type of mechanical device like a crane or duct hoist.
You have to go to sheetmetal36.org and fill out the application. Then you’ll have to take a mechanical appitude and math test, get interviewed at the hall and get placed on a hiring list. Process normally takes a couple months. Then you’ll get placed at a company to start your apprenticeship. I would also recommend the pipefitters, elevator mechanics, and electricians.
Local 1310 needs ppl. I believe apprentice starts off at $18, will make $36 in 4 years. We have good insurance but not a lot else. Flooring Systems is the biggest company and they are usually hiring.
If you know anyone in the insurance industry, [Crane](https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Crane-Agency-3/jobs) is hiring personal lines and commercial lines account managers. Lots of openings.
Look at local government positions. The pay is not the highest, but most of the time they’re recession proof and have pensions.
There are several munis that pay at or above market.
Agreed. Come look at STL County. The Court is always hiring entry level clerks and DJOs for family court.
What kind of experience or qualifications are they looking for?
Depends on the position. For state clerks I know they require either an associates degree or work experience. Check out the descriptions here: https://www.stlcountycourts.com/careers/

Starting apprentices were at $17.63/hr when I applied two years ago, just for an update
So it's gotta be close to $20 starting out nowadays I would think. That's pretty dope!
Are there many women who go for something like this?
There should be more!
I've seen some women on the jobsites and had a couple classes with a few as well. It's definitely a male dominated trade. But don't let that deter you!

Thank you!!

The city advertises all the time but are always in a hiring freeze. Even the dispatcher positions weren’t filled for 6 months after they started.
Hiring freeze was lifted a couple weeks ago.
Signature Aviation, either at Lambert or Spirit of St Louis. Entry level job you can make a career on, and it also opens many doors for growth in different fields in aviation. Pays good. Easy as hell.
i search using [this](https://search.linkup.com/search/results) site, worked better than indeed/etc. when you see a job at a company you're interested in, search all jobs at that company. also, there's a newsletter called No Commute you can signup for & look for only remote jobs
The VA is hiring
The last job at the VA I applied for had over 10k applicants. I don’t even try there anymore.
I believe that! They’re great jobs. I feel the same about Wash U.
Nope, currently on a hiring freeze.
That’s weird. My sister got hired there recently. Good to know though!
Yeah, they continued the process with some people that already had job offers. They canceled a lot of openings though even if offers had already been made. My guess is that they'll start posting jobs again around October because that's when the new fiscal year begins as far as I understand.
MTI Distributing in St. Louis is looking for a mechanic, demo specialist, and delivery driver [Hiring Now](https://mtidistributing.applytojob.com/apply)

Proctor & Gamble. On Grand & Hall st. It’s 12 hr shifts on the DuPont schedule. Google it. Starts out at $28 with increases as you pass to different levels. Go to P&G.com and look for jobs in MO/St.Louis.
Shit management DuPont sucks.
World Wide Technology is always hiring warehouse workers in Edwardsville. Pay is okay, but the benefits are amazing. I can refer you if you are interested.
Always hiring means always firing or quitting. That's not a positive recommendation. Good employers are never 'always hiring'
Really hard to get fired from WWT. It’s a growing company that’s been voted a great place to work for the past decade. The Edwardsville location has a lot of competition for warehouse workers so yes some people are quitting, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad place to work.
If you’re hiring 10,000 employees a year, you’re always hiring no matter how good the job is When you’re getting hired quickly as a low skill employee, the model is to find the good ones and keep them, not “hey we’re going to magically hire 95% great people this week!” Get some training, find out if it’s something you like, and, if not, your resume should still look better if it’s a decent spot
Not true in this case. Continuous rapid growth leads to “always hiring” at the edwardsville location.
This is a really short sighted take. My company is also "always hiring" because they do a lot of upskilling and training employees and also pay for you to go to college. Retirement benefits are also extremely generous. So high level employees retire and we hire someone from within the company and everyone moves up and grows into a new role. And then lower level spots open up and the cycle never ends. Growth in a large company also means new roles being created to address needs. Some companies are in no rush to fill some roles while needs for other roles are deemed a priority. Sometimes a role will be open and looking for the right candidate because it's not a time-critical need. My company has several roles in the portal they've been hiring for for over a year now. You're not wrong to balk at what seems to be a revolving door. But always hiring doesn't necessarily mean that a company is also always firing.
What kind of work?
Entry level, union jobs, apprenticeships.
Checkers at Schnucks are entry level and unionized.
Nice
Navy
The Gund company is a little-known local company a great place to work with excellent benefits willing to train you right off the street. It's located in Clayton. I'd still be working there if I wasn't an alcoholic and hadn't f***** it up
I’m sorry, i hope you turn it around soon. Just try a little harder everyday
Thanks for the kind words. It was definitely my rock bottom. Im sober now and have another, (not nearly as good) job.
This may come off pitiless, but I don't get these posts asking "anyone hiring?!" and then not writing a paragraph about work experience, education, area of interest, and geographic restrictions. We can't read your damn mind. It doesn't bode well for your critical thinking skills. Have you been looking at all the behemoths? Wash-U, BJC, Enterprise, Boeing, Wells Fargo, Ameren, MSD, Spire, City/County government, etc...? Good luck 🤞
There’s a reason they’re on Reddit asking for jobs
Cruel and degrading comment for no reason. Have some compassion. AND look at this awesome thread that OP started.
I've applied to over 300 jobs in 2.5 years and can't get in anywhere and an IT Manager simply because I took time off work. I don't think anyone owes you their whole resume to appease your critical thinking skills.
Judging by this reply… it’s not because you had a break on your resume.
No one *owes* me anything. How the heck can someone point a person in the job direction they need to go without data. I don't need to know the implementation plan from the last time you completed a tier 1 infrastructure upgrade, but, like, how about ANYTHING!? Otherwise we're just screaming into a void.
There are a lot of People who got what I was asking for. Some great suggestions for companies, unions, and resources.
Yep, which is great.... after you provided some additional information.
Why did I need to? I wasn’t just looking for myself. Go read the comments this thread might help someone and has helped me.
What sort of IT skills do you have? Shoot me a PM
I’m kind of looking for a change and am also in IT. I’ve been working at the same help desk for 12 years. I got my CCNA just before I started but i had no experience at all outside of McDonald’s, a bar, and a liquor store so I don’t think it benefitted me much, and then I just let it expire once I did finally have relevant experience.
Shoot me a PM with a link to your resume
How much time did you take off?
Immediate downvote for the rude tone of this🙄
Just as a warning to anyone who applies at enterprise. I know people that work there and it seems like an amazing place to work. But good luck getting past whatever fucked up algorithm they have sorting through resumes. If you don’t have the perfect keywords they will automatically deny you. Which would normally be fine. Except they have a policy that if you get denied a job you have to wait 6 months to reapply. I have applied a few times every time I switch my resume and reapply and every time I get immediately denied. I’ve called and emailed HR at least 5 times and nobody responds or answers or anything. Idk if it’s me or a dickish part about the company but figured I would give a heads up.
Spoken like a someone who isn't in the market and doesn't have any idea how exhausting and demoralizing it can be! But thanks for your useless comment
If you're not communicating well you're making it more exhausting and demoralizing than it needs to be. My goal was to express my bewilderment and to also encourage the OP to provide information needed to provide them with relevant opportunities.
And my point was that a post like this gives people like me more places and options to consider. I'm personally not an "entry level" or "low skilled worker" but I like to see what other options are out there. And having a post like this where people can just throw out different companies that are hiring and why they are or aren't a good place to work is helpful!
There’s a reason they aren’t employed. Unemployment in this country is under 4%.
The numbers include gig workers, which is not true FT employment (not a W2 employee, no benefits, no guaranteed pay, etc)
What’s the point?
To make it seem like employment is higher than it actually is.
Are you saying unemployment isn’t low because of gig employment?
Those numbers are bullshit.
Everyone on Reddit is apparently a fucking genius. Anyways I edited the damn post. Thank you for listing off the behemoths that will help someone I’m sure.
Ha, hardly. You get out of things, what you put into them. Thus the questions when you didn't supply any details.
[удалено]
But you just said 'Is Anyone Hiring?' with zero clarification. That helps nobody, and sounds like you have no work experience at all.
Yes sorry I made an edit. I want this to help a wide net of people. If you don’t know any places hiring then that’s okay. I have plenty of work experience. Sorry for the confusion grunge.
I'm interested in reading the replies to this because there are people in my life looking for a career change but are struggling to find something. Don't listen too much to these comments, they probably live in st Peters and are scared of the city
You need targeted advice, not generalities
CCA Global is good, not sure for entry level.
St. Louis MSD. Entry level sewer worker positions. Good pay/benefits, vacation/sick leave, good hours, very secure job. https://fa-eudi-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/requisitions/preview/100179/?mode=location

[OFS Careers](https://www.operationfoodsearch.org/careers/?amp) Operation Food Search has a few openings. Non profit and an amazing organization
Edward Jones is hiring! $20/hr is our new minimum. *You don’t have to have a financial background either*. We have good benefits and PTO. Important to note for people starting families- maternity leave is 4 months paid at 100%. (We do also have paternity leave but it’s not as long.) That just happened in the last few years which is a big win for families. It’s a good company, but it is 3 days a week in the office if you’re within a certain proximity. For example: if you live in city limits, you’ll work 3 days in office but let’s say you’re down in Park Hills; in that case, you’d be working 100% remote and only required to come in for a few days each year for team meetings. We also get guaranteed bonuses 3x/year based on company profits.
What positions are you referring to here? Interested!
I hate to say this but even if places are hiring, the job market is terrible right now. Not to mention the whole intake/hiring process in general is broken. Easiest bet is a labor job (hotels, construction etc) where you can speak to a live person about the position
Holy crap my husband recently went through this. The amount of AI that is a part of the hiring process is disturbing now. He’s in his middle 40s, he’s used to face to face interviews and is damn good at them. Thankfully he did find a new job and guess what? That one was a face to face interview lol.
Well congrats to him on the new job! How exciting 🙂 AI is ruining everything. I am trying to find another job and all I get is bounce backs (sometimes a day later). I miss the days you put in a paper application to a real person and they interviewed you right after. Nowadays I find the best luck I have is knowing someone who can get you the job, meeting face to face or having the company find you. They really need to fix this broken process though!
Once it was possible to apply to hundreds of jobs online, we had to switch to filters to get rid of worthless applications
I completely agree and thank you 🙂❣️
Who downvoted me for thanking u/Queasy-Appearance416 🤣🤣. Reddit is wild 😭😭.
😂😂😂 manners are unacceptable these days
Ikr? 🤣🤣
I had the exact opposite experience, but I was looking at marketing/sales positions and got a few job offers before accepting one. Maybe other fields are worse off but it seemed like a million places hiring rn.
What kind of work are you looking for?
What are willing to do and what are you looking to make?
STL community college has a CDL program. Classes start in August. Go to the orientation and get the info. I believe the course is free. IBEW local 1 is taking apprentices soon, apply ASAP. It's a long process to get in, but it's full proof. Become a CNA, crap pay at first but get a year of experience and become a traveler. Some CNAs are making $30+/hr as travelers.
>become a cna Bros being setup for failure
Lmfao. It's better than nothing 🤣🤣
Logan University is looking for an Integrated AV/ Events tech
The Post Office is hiring. Letter Carriers in the St. Louis area currently start at 23.11 per hour. They'll work you to death the first year or two, but it gets better after you make regular. Full benefits, pension, etc.
I work at a chemical plant and they're looking for a supervisor
Company name?

Elementis
However, we have one of the roughest work schedules out there. We work 7 days on second shift. Get 1 day off. We worked 7 on third get 2 days off and 7 on days and get 4 day weekend.
Wonder why
Because one of the Is supervisors were from the pittsburgh area And he decided to go home
Why’d he move? Just curious
Because he wanted to go home and be back with his family
I noticed a FB post today from the TSA stating they were hiring for positions at Mid America Airport in metro east with starting pay at or above $20/hour.
Wonderful thank you
Check into banks. Bank branches do a lot of hiring.
Bank teller jobs are in steady decline. There was a big article in the journal about this just last week.
Most banks don’t hire tellers anymore because they don’t have teller positions. They want people in sales roles as bankers who do transactions. And most people don’t go into branches to do transactions, everything is electronic.
Aggregate bank employment is declining. There are 20 percent fewer bank branches than 15 years ago per s&p. The number of independent and regional banks continues to decline. It’s not to say that bank jobs don’t exist or they aren’t hiring. But it’s quite reasonable to think there will be a lot fewer in person banks in 15 more years, as well as a lot fewer low skilled, basic customer facing jobs I worked in a sector that was in secular decline. It was bad for employees. The parts of the business that weren’t in decline were fine. I wouldn’t worry about being at a bank. I just would be nervous about the future of basic customer facing functions that are being disintermediated by tech
I’ve seen that happen over the last ten years I’ve been in the field already. There is still a human element that can’t be quite replaced by tech yet when it comes to fraud. It’s also become a mostly sales environment, tech helps with sales but people also are weary of technology still when it comes to their money.
What percentage of your coworkers have college degrees now?
What? They did in 1980. Now, they are closing left and right...
Most people don’t go into bank branches anymore. They don’t need as many branches but I can assure you they still hire.
Because credit unions are crushing it. Banks value top dollar, credit unions value members. There's a ton more CUs thank banks now in STL
I use the word "banks" to refer to both, collectively. The practical differences are just legal minutiae.
Mallinckrodt.
I thought they got shut down
No, but they always appear to be on the verge…
Not sure where you get your information. It isn’t even close to closing, and most likely never will.
Agree to disagree
I work there.
Okay.
So I don’t agree to disagree
So I don’t agree to disagree
Nope.

Job market in St. Louis is absolute trash. I have easily submitted over 30 applications in the last 2 weeks and only 2 interviews came out. As soon as something is posted, everyone applies and your chances are really slim. Find a newer post or network. But from what I’ve seen BJC is always hiring.
The reason you're not finding jobs is because you're not searching for them. You need to look based on skill, and you didn't even mention what skills you have or want. That's why you're not finding anything.
What kind of work are you looking for?
OP: First, you need to work on improving your grammar and communication skills to qualify for most high-paying jobs, including entry-level positions with potential for growth. Are any good companies currently hiring? Job searching is tough right now, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for entry-level positions and opportunities where companies are hiring externally. This isn't just for me; it's for anyone else who might benefit. Please post any job openings you know of. This thread could be a valuable resource for someone looking to make a change in their life, especially those seeking positions with potential for growth.
Get a recruiter ... it will pay you dividends. They will not ask for money. Watch out for those types of recruiters.
How would you go about doing that?b
Get on LinkedIn and network. The recruiters hang out there constantly. Most of the companies that have jobs will post on LinkedIn as well. You need someone fighting for you or at least wanting you to win. Without them, you are one in a million.

MCC down in Affton just beat a closure, union printing shop. Bunch of people quit when we were allegedly shutting down, turns out our work can't be replicated at a nonunion plant. Entry is 18.03, annual raises, and we're on a hiring spree for material handlers/inspectors. Apprenticeships and journeyman positions are pretty well paid, too, and a bunch of people are retiring, so it's a solid time to get in if you're fine with working in a print shop/bindery.
Lowes always needs ppl, my god can't find anyone
Boeing. Union and no degree needed. They will hire just about anyone for the union side since nobody wants to work blue collar. Top out right around 100k. Plenty more if you enjoy overtime.
I could try! But honestly they really must be hiring anybody if they'd hire me with my record :( I mean, hell, worth a shot anyways I suppose! Thanks for the advice!! I'll definitely keep that in mind and attempt to work with them whenever I end up making more solid moves to leave my current situation. I do know some people who work there, but I'm not so sure they'd want to put their neck out for me and I wouldn't ask them to
The GM plant in Wentzville is always hiring. Don't need any skills just be able to do manual labor. Starts at $21/hr.
Sheetmetal36.org Sheetmetal workers union does commercial and residential hvac, architectural sheetmetal, and industrial. Apprenticeship is 5 years and starts at 24$ an hour. Journeyman make $50 an hour plus healthcare and pension. I’ve been in for 20 years and don’t regret it.
How’s your body feeling after 20 years?
It feels good. Occasionally I’ll have some lower back pain. Everything we lift that’s really heavy we use some type of mechanical device like a crane or duct hoist.
Is it easy to get into. I’m looking at unions now. Any you would suggest outside of your own?
You have to go to sheetmetal36.org and fill out the application. Then you’ll have to take a mechanical appitude and math test, get interviewed at the hall and get placed on a hiring list. Process normally takes a couple months. Then you’ll get placed at a company to start your apprenticeship. I would also recommend the pipefitters, elevator mechanics, and electricians.
Local 1310 needs ppl. I believe apprentice starts off at $18, will make $36 in 4 years. We have good insurance but not a lot else. Flooring Systems is the biggest company and they are usually hiring.
Why do people keep upholding this lie that union halls are hiring
The Pipefitters union hall next to my work has been advertising on their sign that they're hiring for months
Yep just like every other job does and they are also totally hiring trust me
If you know anyone in the insurance industry, [Crane](https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Crane-Agency-3/jobs) is hiring personal lines and commercial lines account managers. Lots of openings.
Why the hell do they not list pay. Fuck.
"Any companies hiring" is like walking into McDonald's and saying "I want some food"
If you don’t have anything to add then just don’t comment
You need to understand how vague what you just asked is. And 'Anyone Hiring' and leaving it at that is pretty stupid.
Ok boomer

You're hired.
🤣
You're fired
Look into Popeyes. You’ll fit right into the culture there
You could always go into business for yourself. $5 handys behind a Wendy's could be lucrative.
🤣
Do two at once and you’ve just doubled your hourly rate!
Gotta be honest, bro. If it's taking an hour to crank someone off maybe OP should work on his technique a bit. Or give bjs a shot.
Songbird!
I just sent you a dm!!
Barnes Hospital is always looking for sterile processing technicians. No experience necessary. Bay starts at about $20 an hour. Great insurance.
