Fill out the information below and click "SUBMIT". Please make sure that your contact information is accurate - this is how employers will contact you for interviews and job offers.
If you need additional support, you can find free resources at betterworksouthfulton.org.
If you don’t have a reliable phone number please provide one for someone you know who does so that we can contact you via phone or text.
We give your email address and phone number to employers so that they can contact you to schedule an interview. Don't worry, we won't share your information with anyone else or send you a bunch of spam. We will only send you an email or text here and there with helpful tips, free resources, and other things that might help you get a job, keep a job, and support yourself (and your family).
Having a general idea of where you live and work helps us connect you with the right support, resources and other help in your area. It's also good for employers to know this information, since some of them might have job openings at several different locations near you, which gives you more options to choose from and therefore a better chance at getting a job.
We will do our very best to connect you with employers hiring for your chosen job type(s), but some job types might not be immediately available in your area. If that is the case, we will be sure to notify you as soon as we receive openings for them!
Please select the job type(s) that you are interested in, and we will show you the Better Work employers who are currently hiring for those job types. From there, you can select the employers you'd like to send an application to..
Below are employers that are currently hiring in your area and guaranteeing interviews for qualified candidates. Please select all employers that you are interested in. To learn more about these employers, click on 'Learn more'. *

For each day, please select the option that best matches your availability by clicking on the drop-down and selecting one of the options. If you cannot work on that day, please select 'None'.
The short answer is: more opportunity. Here's the thing - a lot of employers have similar jobs at all of their locations. Every Walmart has cashiers. Every restaurant has servers. They all have managers. When you apply for a job posting, you are applying to one job at one location at one employer. With the Better Work application, we just want to know what type of job you're interested in, so we can tell as many employers as possible. This allows you to be considered for several openings and locations, which increases your chances of getting a job.

Important notice from Better Work (and affiliated organizations): While we strive to have accurate information regarding the jobs we list, the terms of employment including pay, benefits, work hours, and vacation may change at any time and are at the discretion of the employer. No guarantee is made here that any job offer received will match the details shown above. Also, while the employer has agreed to provide an interview to anyone meeting the basic job requirements included here, the employer can change its policy at any time without notice.
You agree, acknowledge, and expressly permit Better Work, through its agents, employees, and partners, to share your application data with potential employers and service partners. Any information in the application process that is labeled as not being shared with employers will remain confidential unless you expressly agree to us sharing that information in writing.
BETTER WORK does NOT share this information with employers. We only ask for this information so that we know how to best support you in your personal and professional goals.
Criminal Background: Good news for those with a criminal background: many employers are happy to consider applicants with a criminal record, because they understand the power and importance of a second chance. It is important to note, however, that this is completely up to each individual employer (and is not a decision that can be made by BETTER WORK).
Employment Mentor: If you would like extra help with finding a job, preparing for a job interview, or anything else that you might need in order to be successful, we recommend working with one of our Employment Mentors. If you select “Yes” for this, you might receive a phone call from one of our Better Work Program Managers to match you with the right mentor.”
Support Resources: We understand that there are many barriers to getting - and keeping - a job. Let us know what challenges you might be facing, so that we can notify you of local resources that could help with things like transportation, childcare, and housing (to name a few).
Before we send your application to employers, we need to speak with you for just a few minutes to make sure we are sending the right information to the right companies, and that we understand how we can best help you be successful.
Here's what happens next:
Once we have a conversation with you, we will send your information to the employers that you selected and let them know you're interested. From there, we pass it off to the employers to follow up with you to schedule interviews, so make sure you are keeping an eye out for an email, text message or phone call from them to set that up!

It is very important that you do all of the following:
- Answer phone calls, even if they're from an unknown number
- Check your email daily and respond in 24 hours or less (immediately is best, if possible)
- Have your voicemail set up, and make sure your voicemail inbox is not full so that they can leave you a message if they need to
Remember: they have to be able to contact you in order to hire you!
Here's what you can expect from us:
In addition to the call we will have with you, we will be sending you an email here and there with helpful information about how to get (and keep) a good job, interview tips, and free resources in your area.
