The Georgia Department of Labor’s Toccoa Career Center is hosting the 2012 Northeast Georgia Job Fair and Career Expo on Friday.

The fair will take place from noon to 3 p.m. at the Currahee Campus of North Georgia Technical College, located on Highway 17 in Stephens County between Toccoa and Martin.

Toccoa Career Center manager Greg Pitts said this is the sixth annual event, and it continues to grow each year.

“We have, at present, some 85 employers and resource agencies that will be there on Friday,” said Pitts. “These are employers that actually have jobs to fill. They are going to be hiring. They are going to be scheduling interviews.”

Besides the job fair, Pitts said the Department of Labor will again host “early bird workshops” that will start at 11 a.m.

Also, the fair will have people on site to critique resumes, so people who are looking for a job need to come prepared.
