Labor department schedules career fair in Athens
ATLANTA State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said today that the Georgia Department of Labor's Athens Career Center and Employer Committee, along with the Athens Banner-Herald, will co-sponsor a career fair for employers and job seekers in the area. The event will be held Thursday, April 5, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Classic Center, located at 300 North Thomas St. in Athens.
Commissioner Thurmond said, "This career fair is designed to bring employers and organizations in the Athens area together with job seekers who are looking for employment or career guidance. Job seekers will receive cutting edge information on job search, career planning, and other valuable services designed to help them reach their full workplace potential."
The event will feature about 40 employers that will be hiring to fill current job openings. In addition, other employers will be discussing possible future employment opportunities with the job seekers, while other organizations will be providing educational and other resources. Applicants should bring plenty of resumes and be prepared to fill out company applications and interview for available job openings.
Among the employers expected to participate in the event include: Advantage Behavioral Health, Athens-Clarke County Government and Sheriff's Office, Athens First Bank and Trust, Avon, Caremaster Medical Services, ETCON Staffing Services, Express Personnel Services, Flexstaff Services, Golden Pantry Food Stores, Huber Engineered Woods, Louisiana Pacific, Manpower, Primerica Financial Services, Randstad, Reynolds Plantation, Ritz Carlton Lodge, St. Mary's Healthcare Systems, and Willstaff Worldwide.
The employer committee also will sponsor two free fashion shows, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., to inform job seekers on appropriate attire for job interviews, the workplace and after-hours workrelated functions. Local merchants are donating some of the clothing for the show. Employer committee members, career center staff and partners will model at the show. Written information on appropriate dress also will be distributed.
Job seekers or employers who would like additional information about the career fair should contact the Athens Career Center at (706) 583-2550.
