Just received my weekly email from CareerBuilder and this was one of the available jobs posted to their site:

Product Demonstrator - Costco Jobs in The Villages, Florida

[Happinow]

This is good news for sure. I heard yesterday from a lady waitng in line to golf that we are getting a Home Goods. Has anyone else heard that? This lady seemed pretty sure of herself when spreading the news.

Nothing on their website about one coming to The Villages. Other locations listed as opening in Oct and Nov. Wish it would come here.

[ROCKETMAN]

I will beleive it when they start digging ground for it. Of all the jobs you need to open a place, hard to beleive this is the first job they are looking for employees.

[Bonny]

They certainly wouldn't be hiring anyone for a building that they haven't even started to build.
Also to me, the area they are showing where it will be, seems like a strange place to put a Costco. Of course that could just be me.

The map on the website shows it is behind my house at parr and buena Vista - I looked out my window and it's still a field. I doubt that the space is large enough for a Costco.

I agree !

i actually clicked the application and was sent to third party. I think something is funny here....It didn't mention Costco....no phone numbers, or anything of value......just the villages.......hummmmm....

I think this has scam written all over it.......but what do I know...

part time food demonstrators.....before a spade of dirt is turned....NOT likely!!!

the location given on the map.....NOT likely.

Bogus information.....extremely LIKELY!

[blueeagle65]

Not exactly my choice as a first hire. My last e-mail to them requesting consideration for TV was answered by a "...thank you for your interest, yadda, yadda.... and we're always considering new locations, etc. - but we haven't yet picked this location...". I'm sure there is the ever present secrecy due to property prices, etc. - but, we'd sure like to have them in or close to TV, too. Altamonte Springs is just not convenient enough for us.

Hmmm...I didn't click the link to the application. I assumed that because it was sent from CareerBuilder, that it was legitimate. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

It is my understanding that the food demonstrators are hired by the various food brokers and vendors.

[mixsonci]

A couple of weeks back there was a thread on here where people were saying that in or around May TV would be getting a Home Goods. Seemed like they were pretty sure about it?

Is costco better than SAMs

[simpkinp]

Given my "druthers" I would rather have a Trader Joe's than another big box store. No doubt that Costco is better but with a Sam's here it is unlikely to get another of that genre
