Kentwood, Michigan, Oct. 5, 2020 – Woodland Mall will host an Employment Expo on Thursday, Oct. 15 featuring nearly 30 West Michigan employers seeking to fill hundreds of positions in the mall and around the community.

Many retailers at the mall are hiring for both full-time and seasonal positions. A variety of Woodland Mall clothing, shoe and jewelry retailers as well as restaurants will participate in the expo with a variety of employment opportunities including full-time management roles. A full list can be viewed at shopwoodlandmall.com. 

“With rising unemployment, it is more important than ever to help our community’s job seekers connect with West Michigan employers and support our local economy,” said Cecily McCabe, Woodland Mall marketing director. “We appreciate the generosity of our sponsors, Allied Universal and Peoplemark, which has enabled us to offer this event free of charge. 

“Woodland Mall is delighted to host this employment expo, which also allows several of our own retailers who are gearing up for the holiday season to participate. We offer a variety of career options with competitive wages in both sales and management for anyone interested in retail.” 

Hourly wages for entry-level sales associate positions at the mall range from $12 to $14. The average salary for management positions is $55,000. Job seekers are encouraged to explore the list of Woodland Mall openings online.

Woodland Mall asks all guests, including employers and job seekers, to follow CDC recommendation by using the hand sanitizer stations located throughout the mall, wearing facial coverings and practicing physical distancing.
