The unemployed can learn how to enter or re-enter the work force through seasonal or temporary jobs during an online chat on June 27 hosted by the Georgia Department of Labor.

The “Ask Ted” – Type, Explore, Discover – online chat will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on www.dol.state.ga.us.

The chat will help job seekers discover the advantages of these types of jobs and learn where and when to look for them as well as dispel myths about the jobs. A panel of experts will provide job-search tips and discuss how to parlay the jobs into permanent positions.

People may ask questions during the live 90-minute chat, “Seasonal and Temporary Employment,” or e-mail questions in advance to askted@gdol.ga.gov. They also may do so on Facebook at www.facebook.com/GeorgiaDOL or Twitter at @GeorgiaDOL.
