Are You Looking for Jobs/Contracting Opportunities  

Chipotle hires chamber referrals

Below is the link for the jobs at Chipotle.  Click on careers when you get in and then choose the Campbell site so you can get to Jeff Blevins (the general manager).  Let him know that Alicia Owens sent you so he knows the chamber is helping him secure applicants. Chipotle stills needs around 20-30 people, and they don't have to have any experience.
