Jobless Residents Can Make Trek to Northwest GA Career Expo

A high unemployment rate in Bartow County might make the 64-mile drive to the 2013 Northwest Georgia Career Expo a little less painful next Wednesday, March 27.

Northwest Georgia job seekers will have the opportunity to connect with representatives from more than 35 companies who are looking to fill vacant positions during the career expo Wednesday, March 27, from 1- 4 p.m.

The career expo is being hosted by the Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL), the Walker County Chamber of Commerce, and the Northwest Georgia Joint Development Authority.  It will be at the Walker County Civic Center located at 10052 N. Highway 27 in Rock Spring.

Company representatives from north Georgia and Tennessee will be filling jobs in a number of different fields and positions including:

• manufacturing,
• assemblers,
• twisters,
• creelers,
• warehouse workers,
• forklift operators,
• machine operators,
• material handlers,
• maintenance technicians, and
• CDL drivers.

But that's not all. There will also be several major retailers participating in the expo, as well as representatives from healthcare and social services.

Come prepared to the career expo. Bring several copies of your resume and be prepared to complete applications and interview right there in the civic center.

Give yourself a better chance at that job by dressing professionally.
