If you, a friend or loved one has submitted endless resumes through sites like Craigslist, Monster or Career Builder with little response, experts highly suggest attending a job fair. On Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014, at Gwinnett Center, a free employment event will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and several companies from a variety of industries will be attending.
