As the 2024 holiday shopping season approaches, Amazon announced this week that it’s hiring for 250,000 full-time, part-time, and seasonal roles across the U.S., including 7,000 positions in Virginia and 2,000 in the Hampton Roads area.
Seasonal Amazon jobs offer competitive pay, flexible schedules, and the opportunity to be part of the bustling retail industry during its busiest time of year. Many of these seasonal roles also come with the potential to transition into regular, full-time employment after the holidays, according to a press release from Sam Fisher of Amazon Public Relations.
Earlier this month, Amazon also announced its largest wage increase ever for hourly associates. Members of the front-line team will be getting at least an additional $1.50 per hour starting this month, which will bring their average base wage to more than $22 per hour. All seasonal employees earn at least $18 per hour and have access to comprehensive benefits like health care coverage from their first day of employment.
Interested applicants can go to amazon.com/localjobs or text NEWJOB to 31432 to sign up for job alerts. Open roles are posted throughout the holiday season and fill up quickly, so be sure to check back for updates.
