Atlanta Career Fairs 2018

Graduation is around the corner, and the pressure is on to find a job. I have had several people tell me they are landing interviews left and right. When I ask how they heard about the job I am surprised to hear their answer is at a Job Fair.

The Job Fair. I always figured these were mythical events created to have in movies and books. I found it hard to believe that so many people seeking out such limited job openings in a central location would actually be successful at landing a job among all the chaos. Alas no. I even had one classmate share that she not only got an interview because of the fair, but she also got the job. 

WOW. A Job. With vacation, 401K, insurance...a REAL job. All because she listened to her mentor and attended the job fair at Georgia Gwinnett College. 

It was an important lesson for me to learn. In the digital age it can be easy to get lost in the sea of online applications. The job fair is a great chance to meet someone face to face and make a lasting impression. This is a chance to outshine your (possibly) mundane resume.  

So let's take a look at a major job fair happening in Metro-Atlanta this year. 

Eventbrite.com has information on Atlanta Career Fair. The fair is on April 5, 2018 at The Westin Peachtree Plaza from 11am-2pm. The web page gives you the opportunity to upload your resume on the site when you register for the fair. It is a free event, so if you have the time you should make an effort to go to the event. The job industries represented range from accounting to entertainment. It looks like it will be a great opportunity at landing an interview. 

Good luck to you all! Happy hunting! 

Best,
