Alcohol is considered a drug. It slows down vital functions, resulting in slurred speech, unsteady movement, disturbed perceptions and an inability to react quickly. In addition, underage drinking by those under the age of 21 is illegal, affects the developing brain, and can have devastating health, safety, and legal consequences. Underage drinking and marijuana use among 920-year-olds have been identified in DeKalb County, Upson County, and Macon/Bibb County as issues affecting our community. Marijuana is a drug as well. It is psychoactive and considered the most abused drug in the United States.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
