Newsflash: Someone’s hiring!

SB’s an emissary of goodwill, so here’s some news about Goodwill.

They’re hiring.

Goodwill of North Georgia needs to fill more than 40 jobs for its newly opening store in Cobb County.

The store, opening in early April, will be located at the East-West Connector and Powder Springs Road, right near the Waffle House.

Goodwill is going to need workers to accept donations, work as cashiers, and serve as supervisors. The pay scale will vary, depending on the job, said spokeswoman Elaine Armstrong. Goodwill is also looking to fill managerial positions at other locations, she added.

Cobb County, like everywhere else it seems, has seen a recent spike in first-time unemployment claims. In December, the number of Cobb County residents filing increased by 106.8 percent over December 2007, Armstrong said.

So the timing of the new store couldn’t be better, offering “a great opportunity for us to provide jobs during a time when many businesses are cutting their workforces,” Armstrong said.

Interested workers should apply in person between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. March 4-6 at the George E. Ford Center, 4181 Atlanta St. in Powder Springs. You’ll need valid, government-issued photo identification and your Social Security card.
