There are some great jobs available now in our own backyard with the State of Michigan according to fox47news.com. You may remember about a year ago the state eliminated its hiring freeze, and they are still looking to fill hundreds of jobs.

It’s pretty typical for us right now in such a large organization we’re typically hiring for a lot of positions," said Mike DeRose, the human resources director for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Across the state, there are more than 500 job openings, according to the state's online job listings.

 

The Department of Natural Resources alone is looking to fill about 80 jobs and you are more than welcome to apply if you are looking for a change or you find yourself out of work.

There has been high turnover in the State of Michigan like many big companies.

They are using many methods to fill all the jobs online, at job fairs, and speaking to specific schools and universities.

Here Is How To Apply

One way of applying for a job with the state is at Michigan.gov. Good luck in your job search and remember if you find a job you love, you will never work a day in your life.
