Teens can learn how to write a resume, interviewing skills, and be able to meet representatives of companies that hire teens during the summer.
Commissioner Oz Nesbitt, who is organizing the teen job fair, said teens can get ahead of the game, "instead of waiting for summer to get here."
A summer camp fair, organized by ADJ Creations, will also be held at the same time and place as the teen job fair.
The Rockdale County Career Fair returns Fri., April 11, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., at Rockdale Career Academy, 1064 Culpepper Drive, Conyers, 30094.
