Retail
With the holidays just around the corner, tons of jobs are expected to open up in retail. Here’s a rundown of just a few companies that have been spotted at job fairs. The Georgia Department of Labor says they have open positions.
- Toys R Us
- The Home Depot
- Big Lots

A quick run to a mall or shopping center in your neighborhood might reveal more opportunities.
Just remember, putting your best foot forward with a temporary, seasonal job, could lead to full-time employment after the new year.
Contruction
Who says there are no jobs in construction? According to the Georgia Department of Labor, JP Painting and Remodeling and Metro Home Improvement are two companies looking for employees.
More Opportunities
Other big companies all over Atlanta are looking to hire employees with all kinds of skills. Here’s a rundown:
