As we work to keep you informed each and every week, we keep spotting local job openings and thought it would help both you and our local businesses to gather them in one place.

That’s how the Job Junction was born - a roundup of the local full-time and part-time job openings that help keep our community running.

We’ll share it periodically for you to browse or pass along to someone looking.

This edition features golf caddies at TPC Avenel, café attendants at Glenstone, and 10 others.

Check out the Job Junction and cast your vote at the end on whether we should keep it going.
