Atlanta Police Department is hiring

The Atlanta Police Department is hiring police officers.

Go to http://www.joinatlantapd.org/ for more information and to apply.

Below is an article written by a current APD officer about the hiring process:

Atlanta Police Department Hiring Process
by officerforestal on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 | No Comments
If you want to work for Atlanta Police Department, I’ll be the first to tell you that the process is long, and tedious but at the end of the day it’s all worth it. Now before you get a conditional offer of employment, there are some major hurdles that you’ll have to cross.
Here’s an overview of some of the steps that you’ll have to complete in order to become a certified police officer for the city of Atlanta.
The application:
Some candidates take the application process for granted, but I’ve seen recruits get all the way up to the oral board interview and get disqualified because of misrepresentation on the application that was completed months ago.
The bottom-line here is to be completely honest on your application, and avoid common errors like misspelling, and bad grammar. Remember investigators will go through your application with a fine tooth comb so make sure you have your ducks in a row.
APD Written Entrance Exam:
The APD written exam was designed to cover the following areas:
Reading and writing comprehension skills
Memory recognition
problem solving ability
Judgment and reasoning skills
Verbal communication skills
If you get a top score on the written exam, you’ll then move ahead to the physical assessment test.
Physical Agility Test:
The physical assessment test is a five station test in which the candidate must pass each separate station in order to pass the fitness test. You can get a complete workout guide to help you get into tip top shape for this event by going here.
Background Check:
The background investigation includes checks of former employers, criminal background, financial history, education verification, military records, and interviews with neighbors, supervisors and co-workers. Try to review all three credit bureaus to make sure that there aren’t any discrepancies on your credit report.
Oral Board Interview:
The Oral board exam will be the last chance that you’ll have to sell yourself to the higher ups within the Atlanta police Department. If you do well there, and impress the interview panel, you’ll likely get offered the job pending that you pass the psychological evaluation, computer voice stress analysis, and medical background.
Hope this helps you!

Home Depot is Hiring

By Arielle Kass

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Home Depot is hiring more than 1,500 seasonal employees in Atlanta and 60,000 across the U.S. as the company readies for its busy season.

The Atlanta-based company calls spring its Christmas, and it is preparing for the seasonal rush by adding workers in February and March. Spokesman Stephen Holmes said the figure is similar to previous years because spring is always a busy season.

The positions usually last about 90 days but could go longer depending on the needs of individual stores.

Home Depot also plans to offer "Black Friday" deals for the second spring in a row, creating events on four weekends when prices will be reduced on live goods and lawn care, outdoor power, eco-friendly gardening products, patios and grills.

“Hiring seasonal associates and offering door-busting deals will ensure our customers have all of the service, know-how and value they need as they look to take on outdoor projects to improve the appearance of their home,” said Craig Menear, executive vice president for merchandising for the company.

Home Depot, which has more than 300,000 associates, will also add some permanent part-time and full-time jobs, but it did not specify how many.
