It's time to jump on the summer job bandwagon in Plymouth. The local community center at 14800 34th Ave. N is gearing up to play host to job seekers of all sorts with its "Leap Into Summer Job Fair" from 3-6 p.m. this Thursday. The event, which is free to the public, boasts a range of city job openings for candidates 14 and older. It's an opportunity for locals to meet face-to-face with city staffers and engage in on-the-spot interviews.

The city is on the hunt for adult soccer officials, aquatics coordinators, lifeguards, and a slew of other positions in their Parks and Forestry, Streets, Utilities, and Yard Waste Divisions. Those willing to consider a leap into seasonal work have an array of options to pick from – whether it's coaching youth soccer or inspecting the city's trees. According to a statement obtained by Plymouth's official website, attendees can expect to take home more than just job applications. The fair will offer a spread of light snacks and giveaways.

But it's not just about the snacks and freebies. Human Resources Generalist Katy Cotterman expressed excitement about showcasing the job opportunities available. "We are excited to showcase a variety of great job opportunities for all ages and abilities," Cotterman told the city's website, highlighting the potential career growth that comes with these positions. "We have openings for a number of seasonal positions – and many of our returning seasonal crew members eventually become full-time employees." 

Job descriptions and detailed information about the openings can be found on the city's dedicated jobs page. For those eager to take the next step in their career or simply aiming to fill the lazy days of summer with some productive work, the Leap Into Summer Job Fair might just be their starting line. And with no registration required, it's an open door for anyone in the community who's interested to walk right through.
