DETROIT (WWJ) -- Detroiters looking for a job should head downtown to the Renaissance Center where service company, Marjorel, is holding a job fair over the weekend -- some people are even being hired on the spot.
V.P of Marjorel, Elaine Coffman, says entry level jobs start at $17/hour with benefits. Those who are hired will begin working at home.
Coffman says they have hopes of hiring 200 workers by the end of April and 500 by the summer for its new downtown office. Job roles include customer service, human resources and operations at levels going all the way up to manager.
And while having work experience is nice, Coffman says it's not necessary for those looking for work. She says Marjorel is looking for people who want to work, learn and have a passion for social media and the internet.
