LONGVIEW — Hundreds lined up this weekend to seek open positions at Longview Fibre.
The Daily News reports they are competing for just a handful of jobs at the paper and packaging company.
The company says it will hire five hourly employees every month for the next several months to fill openings and replace retirees.
There was a line winding around the back of the building by 7 a.m. Saturday. About 200 people completed applications within the first hour and a half after the doors opened at 9 a.m.
Every applicant receives a number and will be entered into a lottery. The lucky few who are selected will be brought in for tours of the Longview plant, an aptitude test and interviews.
Saturday’s session was the first of two. Another will be today from 4 to 7 p.m. at the union hall.
