Whether you want to bottle Coca-Cola or help Lockheed Martin make airplanes, there’s an upcoming metro Atlanta job fair that has something for you.
Democratic U.S. Rep. David Scott has held the job fair since he started representing Georgia's 13th District in 2003. His staff said there would be about 150 employers trying to fill more than 9,500 positions of mixed pay ranges on Friday.
A list on Scott's website shows the variety of organizations hiring, which has local biggies like Delta and out-of-towners like the South Carolina Department of Corrections.
Georgia's 13th District encompasses a sweeping southwest swath of the metro area from Mableton to Stockbridge (see a map here) that includes portions of the following counties: Clayton, Cobb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton and Henry.
