How to Apply Effectively
Make a two-page resume with a short skills block (PPE, GMPs, HACCP if relevant) and a bullet list of production wins. Search national boards and local staffing firms that service manufacturing parks. Ask about training pay, shift premiums, and overtime rules so your schedule and budget align from day one.
