More than 1,000 jobs from 60-plus employers are needing to be filled at a job fair taking place Thursday at the Georgia International Convention Center adjacent to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

If your current job or career isn’t taking off quite like you wanted it to do, then a job fair Oct. 19 near the Atlanta airport might just be your ticket to a new employer or profession.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport said Friday that more than 500 jobs will be available at the fair, which will have more than 40 employers participating.

The event takes place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., not at the airport, however, but at the Georgia International Convention Center, 2000 Convention Center Concourse, in College Park, near the airport. That’s about 90 minutes north of Columbus.

The airport typically holds a job fair in the spring, but said a growing local economy, increased passenger traffic and its current $6 billion improvement project prompted the addition of a fall recruiting event.

Atlanta Workforce Development Agency will be on site at the fair, providing computer stations to help job seekers with online applications. Those attending the event should bring 10 or more resumes. More than 4,000 people seeking work showed up at the spring fair, the airport said.

Those attending can register at atljobfair.eventbrite.com. Those going to the fair should take MARTA to the airport station, then hop on the Sky Train shuttle, getting off at the Gateway/GICC station.
