The Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) is inviting Northwest Georgia businesses that are looking

to fill current or future positions to participate in the Dalton Career Expo next month as a way to

make connections with skilled, available workers.
 
The career expo is planned for Wednesday, Dec. 5, from 12-5 p.m. at the Northwest Georgia

Trade and Convention Center in Dalton. It is a follow-up to the three-day Job Readiness and

Talent Attraction held recently in which more than 500 job seekers worked with GDOL staff to

create new resumes, and participated in  workshops aimed on improving their interview skills,

marketing themselves, and using social media in their job search.
 
The GDOL is working with the Greater Dalton Chamber of Commerce-Development Authority, 

City of Dalton, Whitfield County Government, Murray County Chamber of Commerce, and 

members of the Murray-Whitfield faith community in the effort to match job seekers with

available jobs.
 
Business representatives interested in participating in the Dalton Career Expo should contact

Jackie Goolsby at the Dalton Career Center, at 706-272-2225 or by email at

Jackie.goolsby@gdol.ga.gov.
 
Also, any businesses that are unable to participate in the career expo, but have jobs available, should contact Goolsby.  The GDOL is hosting a career connections corner, and will have staff available to work booths and ensure all job vacancies are made available to the job seekers.
