GENIE to Host Job Fair in Hazlehurst, GA

April 6, 2016

Georgia Southern University’s GENIE program is hosting a job fair at The Big House, 25
East Coffee Street in Hazlehurst, GA on Friday, April 8 at noon.

GENIE will be recruiting and hiring for many different industrial positions from entry
level utility laborers to machine operators and skilled mechanics. If you or someone
you know is looking for work or a new career, this is the place to find it. Interested
parties should bring a resume, or at the very least, a copy of their work history. GENIE
advisors will administer an industrial assessment and briefly interview applicants to
determine for which employer each applicant is best suited.
Employers with open positions include McPherson Manufacturing, EP American
Footwear, FRAM/Hazlehurst Wood Products, PalletOne, and Precision Products. All
local employers require that applicants pass a drug screen. These employers are
looking for career‐minded employees who are willing to work. Many employers have
opportunities to advance and offer on‐the‐job skills training.
Please help spread the word and encourage anyone seeking gainful employment to
attend.
This job fair will be led by GENIE Business Advisor Suzanne Hallman and Research Analyst Ben McKay.
