Looking for a job? Changing careers? Want to go back to school? DeKalb Technical College is the place to be in March. The College is hosting two career fairs. On Tuesday, March 24, 2009, the first Career Fair will be held at DeKalb Tech's Clarkston Campus in the Conference Center, located at 495 N. Indian Creek Drive in Clarkston, GA (30021).

Both Career Fairs will be held from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
“Our primary goal in hosting Career Fairs is to assist our students in securing employment,” says Cynthia Edwards, Director of Career and Job Search Services.” Through this effort, we strengthen our community as well as our local companies by matching skilled, experienced, and/or well-trained job-seekers with solid employment opportunities.”
The Career Fairs will be open to DeKalb Tech's students as well as to the community at-large, and there is no fee for employers or job-seekers to participate.
To participate in the Career Fairs, business attire is requested, and attendees should have at least 30 resume copies.
