Atlanta Professional Job search

Hello Atlanta professional job search group. I started this group as a way for people living or with a desire to work in Atlanta. The ATL is a great place to be however it is challenging to find a job/career without proper networking. People hire people they know or can develop a positive relationship with. My question for the group is how best can we organize to take advantage of the diverse experience within the group to build these relationships and connect with potential employers. Don't be bashful, comment so we can not only share online but create tangible relationships in Atlanta leading to productive careers for ourselves and families. Remember everyone knows someone who can benefit themselves or others within their circle.

Are fulfillment jobs the new path for a retail careers? I’ve noticed more new distribution center opening while traditional brick and mortar retails stores continue to close. Big brands like Macy’s, JCPenney, and even Walmart are closing stores or expanding their same day package and pickup areas at existing retail locations. I'd like to get into merchandising but if this trend continues I fear there won’t be much of a job outlook in the retail industry. Anyone have any good career track job options in distribution I can look into?
