Job search in Atlanta?

What are the best local job boards, job clubs, recruiters and temp agencies available in Atlanta?

This is a tough question because Atlanta's corporate climate is peculiar. Peruse the usual Monster.com's, etc., join professional associations and network, network, network! Companies are hard on "outsiders". And this is an employer-friendly state that does not advocate for employees. If you are jobless don't come here unless you have a niche skillset -stay where you are. Transfer/relocate with your employer, sometimes this means nothing because employers are so ready to fire employees (!), or you need to be already rolling money.

What are the best ways to leave the public school system and still use my education to help people?

How do I get a mentor to help me transition into Georgia living and work world?

I agree wit Mrs. Z in Lithonia, you cannot move to Atlanta without a job, transportation and finances in place. You can network, by joining organizations you have something in common with. Visit their websites and their blog board. If you want to move to Georgia, you have to mean business.

I am originally from California. I had a job in place, a car and money in the bank. I watch a lot of friends, as well as, tenants move to Atlanta without this necessary staples and they had moved back home within a year.

I recommend you rent a place inside the perimeter for 6 months to a year. Get familiar with the city and then start looking for a home to purchase. Be diligent in your job search and follow up with repeated phone calls. Find a knowledgeable real estate agent (agents can assist with rentals, as well, as property purchases), who is familiar with the city and have a network of clients who can assist you in your career field.

I want to move to atlanta, but afraid to because of line of work i do which is i am a home provider and feel might be quite hard for me. Can i please get someone advise on what i should do.

My recommendation is for you to have a job waiting for your, before you move to Atlanta. Once you get a job, then you can decide on what area you want to live and how much you can afford for your living expenses.

I think indeed.com is a pretty good job board.

Hi, yes, I have 3 kids and we love Atlanta.
It is not hard to find a job as long as you want to work anything.
My wife does not work anymore now, she just do the home business.
So she has time to take care the kids.
So no need to worry.

I am still looking for work, after 4 months. I moved to GA with 2 jobs and within the first 2 weeks was "let go" from both of them. We moved with money in the bank, but that is starting to run out. We bought a home here and find it to be a wonderful place for our children. We are here to stay! I am an administrave assistant and have applied to everything from the grocery store to administrative positions within Atlanta. Any suggestions?
