Linked UP Church Community Job Fair, Oct. 21 in Powder Springs: What to Know Before You Go

POWDER SPRINGS, GA — A west Cobb church is turning its building into a hiring floor for a day. Linked UP Church on Brownsville Road hosts a free community job fair on Wednesday, October 21, with more than 40 employers and vendors, on-the-spot interviews, and the chance to walk out with an offer. The church says it works closely with Goodwill on hiring events, and this is the big one on its fall calendar.

Free, open to everyone, and you do not have to attend the church. Bring a stack of resumes and dress for an interview, because some employers plan to hire on the spot.

What to Expect on Brownsville Road

The church's own event page lists 40-plus employers and vendors hiring, and that count mixes hiring companies with resource vendors, so do not expect 40 separate recruiters. The employer list has not been published. Organizers are clear on one point, though: the employers are not all based out in Powder Springs. Companies from across the metro are coming, so a table here could be a job in Marietta, Austell or closer to the city.

That matters on this side of Cobb. Plenty of people in Powder Springs, Hiram and Dallas commute east every morning, and a fair close to home saves you a trip down the East-West Connector just to shake hands.

The church's page lists doors at 10:30 AM and a 2:00 PM close. Some announcements have circulated a 2:30 PM end time, so plan on the earlier one. Organizers suggest arriving 30 minutes early, and with on-the-spot interviews in play, the first hour is when recruiters are freshest and lines are shortest.

More Than a Job Fair: Free Clothes, Groceries and a Business Center

This is where the Powder Springs fair stands apart from a hotel-ballroom event. The church is running a free clothing closet stocked with business attire, a grocery giveaway, and a business center on site. If you have been putting off a search because you do not have interview clothes, this solves it the same morning. Grab what you need, then walk into the interview room.

The business center is worth a look if your resume is out of date. Get there early enough to print fresh copies before the floor gets busy.
