💼 The Part-Time Jobs MotorCity Is Filling

The listing on the Detroit at Work events calendar names six part-time positions, all on the food and beverage side of the house:

Line Cook
Prep Cook
Beverage Server
Bar Back
Dining Room Attendant
Food Runner

Every one is listed at $20 an hour. Part-time hours make it worth a look if you already have a weekday job, take classes at Wayne State or WCCCD, or want a second check through the holidays. The listing doesn't say whether any of these lead to full-time hours, so ask when you're in the room.

⚠️ Read This Before You Head to Michigan Avenue

Two requirements come straight from the event listing, and both are deal-breakers:

Apply online first. Candidates are asked to finish the MotorCity application before the event. The link Detroit at Work posted is bit.ly/MotorCityCH26. Do it a few days ahead, not in the parking lot.
No criminal background. The listing says candidates must have no criminal background. If that rules you out, skip this one and call Detroit at Work at 313-962-WORK (9675) to ask about other openings.

Bring copies of your resume and dress for an interview. The listing doesn't mention walk-ins, so treat the online application as your ticket in.

Casino Kitchen and Bar Jobs: The Gaming License Question

Working at a Detroit casino can mean a state license, and it helps to know which side of the line your job falls on. According to the Michigan Gaming Control Board, cooks and general wait staff are on its list of jobs that don't need a license. Bartenders and waitstaff who work in the casino area itself need a Level 3 occupational license, which carries a $50 application fee and a $50 license fee.

The license comes after a job offer: the casino supplies the paperwork, and the board's background check can take several weeks. The minimum age is 18 for non-gaming work and 21 for gaming functions. Ask the recruiter whether your beverage server or bar back post sits on the casino floor.
