THREE Job Openings at Lucky Mojo:
We will be losing two wonderful employees this upcoming summer. Nikki is getting married and moving to Texas, and Althea will be pursuing her dream of learning the trade of auto body painting, with a goal of having her own business in due time.
We hate to see them go, but, life being what it is, we know that change is inevitable, and we prepare in advance for change.
We are interviewing NOW for three job positions --
