HoneyBaked Ham, famous for its sweet baked hams, said this week it is hiring for its food service jobs in Florida, among other locales.
The company will ramp up hiring to recruit 6,300 people nationwide. HoneyBaked’s Georgia Division, with approximately 300 stores across the US, will hire 4,100 seasonal employees through January 1, 2012.
The store will be specifically hiring for seasonal jobs in Tampa.
Personnel needs at stores during the holiday season support a major operation to prepare and distribute HoneyBaked’s products, as well as to ramp up frontline customer sales at over 400 stores nationwide.
Within the Georgia Division, metropolitan Atlanta HoneyBaked corporate stores will account for nearly 700 new hires with Birmingham, Denver, Greensboro, Knoxville, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, St. Louis and Tampa each adding between 125 -200 seasonal employees.
HoneyBaked store operators have selective standards in hiring workers suited to uphold a family legacy begun by company founder Harry J. Hoenselaar over 50 years and 400 stores ago. As a result, HoneyBaked attracts seasonal employees who return annually to call HoneyBaked stores their home for the holiday season.
“HoneyBaked customers are extremely loyal, but uncompromising, and do not settle for anything less than the best,” said Maggie DeCan, HoneyBaked Chief Operating Officer. “As a member of the HoneyBaked team, we are keepers of a brand promise that has very high expectations attached to it. Our customers come to us when they are facing an occasion that calls for specialness,” said DeCan. “We go to great lengths to hire a holiday team that respects, understands and delivers the HoneyBaked promise.”

A new survey posits that finance jobs in Florida may be on the chopping block.
Employers announced plans to shed 115,730 workers from their payrolls in September, making it the worst jobcut month in over two years. Heavy reductions planned by the military accounted for a large portion of September job cuts, signaling what may lieahead as the federal government seeks across-the-board cuts in spending.
September job cuts were 126 percent higher than the 51,114 announced in August, according to the latest report on monthly job cuts released Wednesday by global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. They were 212 percent higher than September 2010, when employers announced just 37,151 job cuts. Last month’s total is the highest since April 2009, when 132,590 job cuts were announced.
The September surge brought the number of job cuts announced in the third quarter to 233,258, the highest quarterly toll since the third quarter of 2009. That figure is up 103 percent from the previous quarter and 105 percent higher than the same quarter a year ago.
One-third of the layoffs announced this year came from government employers. It is, by far, the largest job-cutting sector, with 159,588 announced job cuts to date. This figure includes 54,182 government-sector cuts in September, 50,000 of which are the result of a five-year troop reduction plan announced by the United States Army.
This means jobs in Washington, D.C. may also be affected.
The second largest job-cutting sector to date is the financial sector, which announced 54,013 planned layoffs between January 1 and the end of September. That is up 177 percent from the 19,474 job cuts recorded over the first three quarters of 2010. Of the 54,013 financial job cuts this year, 31,167 occurred in September, with 30,000 resulting from Bank of America’s multi-year workforce reduction plan aimed at saving the struggling bank $5 billion per year.
