Local Job Alert: June 21

Businesses around Dallas and Hiram are currently hiring.

Gas prices are high and commuting is becoming more expensive. We want to help.

Count on Patch columnist Julie Paulk to provide you with local job leads.

Job interview tip of the week: "An interview is a conversation… A great interview should be a stimulating conversation. If the interviewer asks you a question, give a relatively short answer. I promise, they will ask for more information if they want it. But, if you keep talking and talking and talking, you will lose your audience, and the job. In fact, studies show that interviewers are more likely to have a positive response to candidates when the interviewer talks MORE than the candidate," according to psychologytoday.com.
