NEW YORK: The online shopping giant is looking to fill more than 30,000 vacant jobs by early next year, and is holding job fairs in six US cities next week to find candidates.

Amazon said all of the openings are for full time positions with benefits. It says it's the most positions it has had open at one time.

The job fairs will take place Sept. 17 in Arlington, Virginia; Boston; Chicago; Dallas; Nashville, Tennessee; and Seattle.
