Walmart is looking to hire 65 employees (or "associates' in Walmart parlance) for the new Altadena Walmart Neighborhood Market slated to open early next year.
According to the release, Altadena store manager Jennifer Gonzales said the store will be looking to hire in all areas of the store, including supervisory positions, in full and part-time positions. “We are excited to bring additional jobs with career opportunities to the area,” Gonzales said in the press release.
According to the release, the majority of associates will begin work in early 2013 preparing for the store's grand opening.
