  • 1.  How are companies recruiting for packaging positions?

    Posted 05-01-2024 10:31 PM

    I am looking for any suggestions to help promote an open packaging position.  Position is located in Chattanooga, TN at Sanofi - formerly Chattem - site.

    Best regards,

    Hello Matt,

    I think it depends on the seniority level and the specialized skills you are after. For junior positions, you can connect directly with colleges and universities with packaging programs.  Professors will likely recommend recent graduates actively looking for a job. Student associations and alumni associations are great at advertising your opening at no or minimal cost.  We are in Canada, so we are probably unable to help you further with a US-based position but keep us in mind if you have an opening in Canada.

    Hi, Matt

    Feel free to send me your job description. For internship/co-op positions, I can share them with our packaging students. For full-time positions, I can share them with our alumni network.

    My email is jdelafue@calpoly.edu

    Warm regards.
