MOULTRIE, Ga. (WTXL) - Colquitt County leaders say Moultrie is expecting huge growth over the next year and, with that, comes many new businesses looking for employees.
On Wednesday more than 30 companies attended a career fair hosted by the Moultrie Chamber of Commerce.
In total, there were 32 businesses in attendance.
Company representatives say they are looking for both parttime and full-time employees.
It was set up so that every company had their own table, and folks could go by and learn about each one.
Employers say this was a unique opportunity that let them meet job seekers in the region on a more personal level, with a face-to-face interaction instead of maybe over the phone.
Those in attendance say its a positive thing to help reduce unemployment in the area.
The event was held at the Southwest Georgia Community Action Council.
Chamber staff say Moultrie is expecting tremendous growth this year and, because of that, they are looking to host another career fair in the fall.
