Federal Job Fair A Bust, Atlanta GA
February 12, 2009 | Atlanta, Georgia | Vetting explained
Federal Job Fair in the ATL. I don't think they were prepared for so many people. An estimated 4,00 to 5,000 people lined up around the entire building, with some of the area with triple lines, to submit their resume at the Federal Job Fair in Atlanta, GA. Over half of the people in attendance after standing in line for more than 4 hours, left the event disappointed or didn't get in at all. Those who did get stood in line for about 6 hours only to be told to apply for the jobs online. Photos taken by Toni D. Keith.
