What are some entry-level jobs?
They have entry-level jobs in both te office and production. An administrative assistant is an example of their office entry-level positions. This will include data entry and assisting other departments where needed. Production positions consist of seed techs and assembly/packaging jobs where you’ll be working in the field or warehousing plant.
It’s good to start off in one of these positions, especially if you have a conviction on your record. They give you a chance to prove yourself and earn promotions within the company.

If you’re lucky, you’ll have to do an interview. Here’s what Monsanto has to say about their interview process:
“Our goal is to learn about you as an employee and as a person, and to determine if we can work well together. We kindly request that you arrive on time and be prepared for our conversation so we can all enjoy a relaxed atmosphere in the interview. Think about all your skills and experiences that qualify you for the position in question, and be ready to talk about how you achieved these throughout your academic, professional, and personal life.”
So, it’s important to be on time, even early, if possible, and really sell your experiences, skills, and talents. It’s also the time to be honest and upfront about your past. You don’t want them to find out during a background check and it cost you your job.
