BILL$ / End Days Deadline to sign up for city's free job fair ends today
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 10:16 AM
On Tuesday, the city will hold a free job fair at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center filled with more than 70 businesses who say they're looking to fill nearly 1,500 positions.
The event is part of Hire One, a joint program between Mayor Kasim Reed, the city, the Atlanta Business Chronicle and Atlanta-area employers that "aims to get business leaders off the fence, hiring from the unemployment ranks and taking an active role in the future of our economy." Businesses expected to participate include Georgia Power, Home Depot, Sun Trust Bank, Turner Broadcasting, MARTA, Hyatt Regency, Manpower, ADT Security and Starbucks, among others.
But there's a catch: To attend the fair, you have to register. Do so here.
People who register for the job fair will be given three time slots to choose from: 9 a.m.-11 a.m., 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Be sure to print a copy of your ticket.
You've got until 5 p.m. today to register or until all slots have been filed. If you're unable to snag a time, the city says, you can submit your resume at an on-site checkpoint.

Looks like the registration is filled up. Anyone know if it is possible to get in without a ticket?
