Local Job Alert

Businesses in Lilburn and Mountain Park are currently hiring.

Job hunt tip of the week: An interview is a conversation. A great interview should be a stimulating conversation. If the interviewer asks you a question, give a relatively short answer. I promise, they will ask for more information if they want it. But, if you keep talking and talking and talking, you will lose your audience, and the job. In fact, studies show that interviewers are more likely to have a positive response to candidates when the interviewer talks MORE than the candidate," according to psychologytoday.com.
