Amazon says its US operations network is recruiting seasonal, part-time and full-time workers for the holiday period. Openings will be released weekly from October through December. This is a hiring announcement, not confirmation that every role is currently open in every location.
Check the employer’s official site for your ZIP code, shift availability and employment type. Read the individual listing before applying. For roles that request a resume, emphasize relevant safety, inventory, customer service or operational experience using evidence you can support.
Reuters reported on October 20 that an internal Qualcomm memo outlined a worldwide workforce reduction following annual employee reviews. Notifications were expected to begin in November. The report did not establish how many positions would be affected. These are reported planned cuts, not a confirmed count of completed layoffs.
If you may be affected, record your achievements without taking confidential company information. Refresh your resume around your target role and begin a focused search. Follow official employer communications for your individual employment situation.
