There are open jobs in Athens! |
We believe that one of the pillars of economic recovery is get people re-employed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Many businesses are hiring people right now -- at competitive wages and benefits. Our expectation is to have an online database with a listing of all jobs in the Athens area. That database is going through some changes to make it more easily used. In the meantime we will post FEATURED JOBS each week, with our first post debuting tomorrow, Wednesday 09.16. If you would like your company’s jobs to be noted within this database please respond to David Bradley at david.bradley@athensga.com. |
