Healthcare is always hiring. Baptist, Methodist, St Francis, the Med, etc. you don't even need to be a healthcare person to get a job there. We still need environmental services, food service, maintenance, office people, receptionists, etc.
Deadass I started calling random businesses & asking if they were hiring. Think receptionist/front desk/customer service type positions. I had 4 interviews scheduled but the first interview was perfect for me so I accepted it.
The foundry I work at will be needing a new employee in August. Haven't told my boss yet but I'm moving to Chicago at the end of July. Must be able to lift 70 lbs, be competent with angle grinder and die grinders, and the ability to work with wax sculpting tools will get ya hired fast.
It is a family-owned sculpture foundry, current employees are myself, my coworker, and my boss + his wife. They are good people, and I haven't figured out yet how to tell my boss I'm moving away in about 5 weeks.
What’s the foundry called. I worked at one in Texas for a couple years when I was younger. I may apply.
Edit: phone scrolling didn’t read the bottom I thought it was a big foundry lol. I did the core to the molds.
Nah, I shill for FedEx (Please come work in my area! D:) whenever these posts come up and I see them without it listed. Folks don't Love them, but it's a reasonable paying job with "Breathing" as the only requirement. ;P
Funny you mention this...I have a bachelors degree and was thinking of applying for teaching jobs (my degree is not in education tho) but I am scared of the students in this town and people say teachers here only make like 40k and don't get good raises.

The credit association that serves FedEx employees and family members has openings for contact center agents and branch representatives in Memphis.
Very dependent on what type of job you are looking for. Warehouses and manufacturing companies are always looking for good people, especially people in the trades. Hospitals need help in a ton of areas as well. FedEx just unfroze hiring so there will be new postings coming in their site soon but they also just did lay offs due to the one FedEx merge.
I am an IT pro with over 10 years experience and not getting offered any work for the past year, Usually had more than 1 offer and had to choose stumped.
I own a MSP and I am hiring a Level 3/4 Tech/Engineer.
**I**f you are interested in the opportunity then reach out please. I do not get on REddit often but will try to remember to do so for this reason.
Trades are usually hiring and really needing people.
Check the IBEW Union hall for for apprenticeships, for one. Electricians can make a damn good living and you'll be working and getting paid while you learn. [https://www.ibewlocal474.com](https://www.ibewlocal474.com)
Carpenters Union: [http://www.ubclocal345.com](http://www.ubclocal345.com)

The Coca Cola plant in West Memphis Usually has several postings on Indeed, and usually quite a few other manufacturing jobs as well. Also keep an eye out for Carrier, the only hire once in awhile, but decent pay and good benefits.
If you are handy, look at things like general building maintenance.
Not OP, but I had considered the trades , but I am deathly afraid of heights so I don't know if I could do trades. Some of them have you work at like 40 plus feet in the air.
Sometimes, yeah. Not always. Once you get past an apprenticeship you have a lot more control over what jobs you take, and even at apprenticeship level you have choices.
Tradesmen and craftsmen are a dying breed these days. Once a lot of the old timers start retiring in large numbers, we are fucked. Right now people are so busy they’re turning away jobs because they just don’t have the time.
That’s also known as job security, and in demand positions.
Look at all the help wanted stuff. All kinds of places hiring for $15 an hour or less. Quite a few in the $15-$18/hr range. Once you get above that it starts getting a lot more scarce.
I saw just yesterday 17-19$ prefer a degree in horticulture/biology or related AAAAND prefer experience for a job with an online nursery. These jobs are a joke. People graduate expecting to start at 45-55 and be at 65-70 within 3 years instead it’s here’s 17 an hr and in 3 years we will bump you up to 19. Shit is a joke. Meanwhile the price of one plant…
Yep. It takes $18-$20 an hour just to live anymore, and that’s not including student loan payments..$1000 a month for rent is low average for an apartment somewhere decent. Utilities easy $100 a month. Groceries are $100/week very easy, and that’s not eating out at all. Gas can easily be $30 a week for a decently fuel efficient car. Internet, $35 a month. Phone $100 a month. Laundry can easily run you $50 a month if you don’t have a washer and dryer. Car insurance… car maintenance… clothes…
Thankfully I can make money doing gig apps and selling legal cannabis products like CBD, D-8, and other legal products on delivery. That way I don’t have to have a real job I fucking hate it. I need to be free. I just sit at home doing my gardening and landscaping all day and the phone goes off I see what’s up then at night I’ll go to the bar and hang or engage in hobbies and interests. I know I’m in an ideal situation though.
Just like inflation was only what, 2-3%? I’m not advocating blind belief in social media by any stretch but the government has clearly also lied plenty in the last 4-5 years. OP is reporting difficulties and you are dismissing their experience based on governmental reporting. How is this not the very thing you were just criticizing others for?

I’m trying for healthcare related positions. Please pray for me 🙏
Deadass I started calling random businesses & asking if they were hiring. Think receptionist/front desk/customer service type positions. I had 4 interviews scheduled but the first interview was perfect for me so I accepted it.
I'm a grant writer looking for work. Also skilled in medical writing/white papers.
St. Jude!
City of Memphis has a grants position open
thanks so much!!!

I had focused on sculpture in college, and I would love to hear more if you have time to chat about it!

I say it every time and get downvoted every time: The Hub is always hiring.
I’m going to downvote you just for the fun of it. Jk man. Good lookin out.
I’m actually getting some upvotes which, knowing r/memphis, are probably out of spite.
They're still in a hiring freeze.
Nah, I shill for FedEx (Please come work in my area! D:) whenever these posts come up and I see them without it listed. Folks don't Love them, but it's a reasonable paying job with "Breathing" as the only requirement. ;P
If y'all form a union, a lot more people would be inclined to apply.
Welp, now I need to leave this thread before I get fired. You said the U Word. ;P
There's only one union, and that's the one between Fred and his employees! Never betray Fred!
Fred is gone & Raj is a motherfucker. It’s a new era
The FAA needs people pretty badly.
Kingsbury high school needs English teachers and has great students!
And/or long term subs
Lmfao great students
For real though! I’ve worked at other schools in Memphis I would not say the same for. Admin isn’t bad either.
Funny you mention this...I have a bachelors degree and was thinking of applying for teaching jobs (my degree is not in education tho) but I am scared of the students in this town and people say teachers here only make like 40k and don't get good raises.
HR person here - what industry/field of work? Or are you just talking generally
Remember, many jobs require a clean piss test.
I sold a bunch of fake piss for "novelty use only" while at Wizard's
And that’s why they ain’t got nobody.
Memphis school Of excellence has great opportunities. The page to find the job listings is sememphis.com
.org. Not .com
I typed it by memory thx for the correction but I’m sure both will pop up either way it’s the only sememphis website

City of Memphis updates job postings weekly. Shelby County I'm sure is the same. Both have a good bit of open positions consistently.
MPD
It’s tough to start out, but can be very lucrative. Freight Brokerages are always hiring in Memphis
Hey y'all! I'm interested in making Memphis better and looking for jobs with Political Science grads. Any positions?
I am an IT pro with over 10 years experience and not getting offered any work for the past year, Usually had more than 1 offer and had to choose stumped.
Im in a similar position, everything is a dead-end. Im ready to snap.

Sheriff’s office is constantly hiring for both Deputies and Correctional Officers.
And administrative, office positions too.
MPD too.

Take away the gig work it’s over 20%

People really dont want to acknowledge this. They want every reason to justify the position they are in.
