Many industries with seasonal and youth workers are susceptible to employee shake-ups during summer.

The McDonald's locations will have applications ready. But those interested can bring a filled-out application with a resume and contact information for references.

Applicants may be interviewed on the spot.

The hiring campaign will run from 9 to 11 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesday. Those who can't attend can apply online.
