Today's your day if you're in the market for a job at Amazon. The online retailer is hosting a giant job fair at warehouses across the country. (unfortunately, Charlotte isn't one of them). The goal is to hire 50,000 people who Amazon says will be hired on the spot.

Those new hires will get a tour of the facilities, talk with company representatives and even be introduced to robots that Amazon uses at its warehouse operation.

Amazon says 40,000 of the positions will be full-time work that includes health insurance, disability, retirement savings plan and company stock.

If you can get to one of the warehouses below, you may be in luck.
