Regal Cinemas Atlantic Station 18 IMAX & RPX
On Google reviewer says this: “My husband and I had a great experience. We went and saw Captain Marvel in the Screen X theater and I have to say it definitely was a surprise. Seeing the movie on 3 of the four walls was exciting and different. I’ve been coming to this Regal Cinemas location for years and will definitely continue coming here….”
Landmark’s Midtown Art Cinema
On Google reviewer says this: “t’s a convenient location just a couple of blocks from Piedmont Park. The mall is a little dated and so is the theater, but they do you have everything that you want here. There are a lot of screens, the rooms aren’t large (that’s nice!), and service was fast. It doesn’t compare to the shiny and oversized theaters in the suburbs, but then again, here you’ll find the Oscar winning movies alongside really well-curated films.”
Starlight Drive-In Theatre and Flea Market
One reviewer says this: “Great for those who have kids. It’s is in a rough area but didn’t have any issues with anyone. Restrooms we’re clean, concessions were slow but reasonable prices. The movie screens are a little dated and could use some remodeling. Otherwise, a great experience.”
AMC Parkway Pointe 15
3101 Cobb Pkwy #201, Atlanta, GA 30339 | (770) 937-0730

There are plenty of appetizing restaurants in the surrounding area that you can choose from. Parking is free. The theater is clean, however, the lady’s restroom did need more attention. It was not filthy, but it did have a strong urine scent on the left wing of stalls. The theater was large and I liked having the option of choosing and reserving my seat ahead of time. Check in was fast and efficient. The recliner seats were comfortable and well spaced from the front and back. I will definitely return to this theater again.”
AMC Dine-In Buckhead 6
3340 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326 | (404) 467-9619
One reviewer says this: “Cool little spot. The bar served a good drink. The food wasn’t the best at all for the price. However, it’s a 3 in one stop. I would return and recommend to you go. I know for a party of two we both had 2 drinks, a plate of food, and a shared appetizer.”

Usher performed all the hits at his Super Bowl performance, but if you know what I know, what really stood out was that his mic was on. Yes, he was really singing out there.

Usher Turns Summer Walker Into Autumn
In other words, he made her “fall” for him. This was when we knew Usher was on a mission during his shows. And Summer was with all the action!
Final Word
Usher is one of the most iconic singers and performers still at it today, and there’s no denying that. He represents Atlanta like no other.

You’ve got all the skills and expertise for the job, but you’re lacking a standout resume. We’ve all been there at one time or another. The hiring manager won’t give you the time of day without that piece of paper.
Writing a resume that stands out could actually be just as time-consuming as finding a job. But it’s also very important.
Here are some ways to write that resume that can get the attention of Atlanta’s top companies.
How to Write A Resume That Wins Over Atlanta Companies
Of course, you need a resume, but a lot of people fail to take advantage of a cover letter. The cover letter can steal attention by using powerful action words the employer is looking for.
Make sure you tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific job you apply for. Download this free resume template to see how it’s done.
Every good resume should have a number of key things in common.
- Keywords that match those in the job description
- Strong action words in the top third of the page to grab the recruiter’s attention
- Get it proofread by someone else before you submit
1. Make Sure Your Personal Information Is Accurate
There’s nothing worse than adding your name, address, phone number and email address to your email, but one of them is wrong.
It’s very important than you check that your means of communicating with the job is up to date. That’s the only way they’ll be able to contact you. That leads us to our next point…
2. Proofread Your Resume
So many people don’t bother to hire a proofreader to look over the sentence structure, grammar and punctuation of their resume.
Many recruiters and hiring managers will throw your resume in the trash, if they see errors, especially if it’s for a communications job.
3. Use Action Words
If you want to grab their attention, use action words to describe your abilities and skills. Don’t say “used” when you could say “utilized.” Don’t say “came up with” when you could say “devised” or “developed.” Action verbs make a big impact with the hiring manager.
4. Put The Important Stuff Up High
The recruiter is not going to wait for you to prove yourself by scanning your resume for important jobs, skills and qualifications. Those things such pop out to them because you’ve showed their importance by putting them up high.
A recruiter or hiring manager shouldn’t have to scan past the top-third of the page to see your best work. And that note…
5. Keep It To One Page
Many experts will tell you that having a two-page resume is not a problem, but here’s the truth Unless you’ve done some really amazing tasks and jobs that you feel the need to itemize, keep your resume to one page.
Remember, writing a resume involves a good deal of self-editing, so your ability to keep it to one sheet displays not only your ability to showcase only the very best of you, but also your respect for other people’s time.
