The Largest Job Fair in Hattiesburg's History

How It Started

Hattiesburg's Largest Job Fair was birthed out of the tragic death of Mark Gould, a 20 year old who was shot to death in Pineview Apartments.

The summer job fair was created to provide the poverty stricken community a better life through employment hoping to prevent another tragedy, bringing major business together for the first time in the inner city.

The 3rd Annual Summer Job Fair took place Thursday, July 29 in downtown Hattiesburg at the Jackie Dole Community Center.
