Next week, Earth Fare plans to host a job fair with on-site interviews, with no appointment necessary. The store is looking to fill both full and part-time locations, “spanning all disciplines,” according to its recent release.

Job Fair

Hosted across the street from Earth Fare’s future location on Military Cutoff Road, applicants have three days next week to interview in-person. Earth Fare’s job fair will take place between Oct. 10 and 13 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Prior to attending, applicants are encouraged to apply online. At the job fair, attendees should be prepared to interview and provide availability and relevant qualifications.

According to Earth Fare’s spokesperson, Beth George, the store is not able to disclose wages or salary ranges. George said compensation varies on experience.

On Indeed, Earth Fare appears to be hiring part-time grocery clerks, bakery clerks, specialty department clerks, produce clerks, prepared food clerks, meat and seafood clerks, an overnight store clerk, cashiers, a demo coordinator, a bookkeeper, and a “meat cutter.”

Jobs listed without specifying part or full-time include a scan coordinator, an inventory control officer, a baker, a dairy manager and a bulk manager.
