Question
Mr. Grant,
      My name is Jacob Jones I am from Griffin, Georgia which is only minutes away from Atlanta Center. I have been attending Middle Georgia College for the last year and will be graduating in the Spring with a degree in Air Traffic. The only place I really want to work at is Atlanta Center. So the questions I have are, What is the best way for me to get on at Atlanta Center? Is there something I can do or someone I need to talk to about getting on there?  I am really just trying to figure out my options. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
                                Thanks,
                                       Jacob Jones

Answer
Hi Jacob,
   Since you live so close.  I would visit Atlanta Center and tell them that you would like to go there after graduation.

The ZTL watch desk number is 770-210-7622.  Call them and set up a visit.

Good luck
