    Are You a Good Candidate for General Labor Jobs in Kent? 

    First of all: What is a general labor job? "General labor jobs" often means jobs that involve lifting, carrying, cleaning, and other general tasks. These jobs have a variety of work sites, like warehouses, factory settings, construction sites, and more. Typically, you don't need a lot of skills and experience for these positions, which makes it a great entry point if you're just starting your career or looking for quick, temp work. 

    While general labor jobs often don't require extensive skills and training, individuals who seek these positions must be punctual, enthusiastic, and hard-working. Steel-toed boots aren't a necessity, but they can be helpful to have in some workplace settings. Additionally, many positions require workers to be comfortable lifting and carrying items of 20-40 pounds, although it's always best to check individual job postings to see what's needed. 

    Here are a few more requirements for these types of positions: 

    • Comfortable working in team settings, as well as on your own 
    • Able to take direction 
    • Strong hand-eye coordination 
    • Basic reading and math skills 
    • High school diploma or GED
