A line of a few hundred job seekers stretched around the Gainesville Civic Center as they waited for the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce’s job fair to open Wednesday morning. Traditionally, the annual event draws around 1,000 job seekers. The free event, sponsored by Modern Woodmen of America, The Georgia Department of Labor’s Gainesville Career Center, the Gainesville Area Employer Committee and the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce, provided hundreds of job seekers with the opportunity to meet hiring managers face to face.
