Military Spouse Career Fairs in January

New year. New you? If 2018 is the year you are determined to take the next step in your career, start at the most military spouse friendly job fair in America – the spouse hiring events hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation.

The organization hosts hiring fairs across the nation every month and cater to military spouses and military members. The companies that attend specifically want to hire military spouses and former military members because of the wide range of skills they possess.

The transition summits are also for service members, veterans, and military spouses. These summits feature key federal and state agencies, influential military leaders, innovators in the business and employer communities, and local community leaders.

This two-day transition summits will feature interactive and informative panel discussions, recruiter training, and facilitated discussions focused on improving competitive employment for service members, veterans, and military spouses. The summit will also include a networking reception for employers, military leaders, and job seekers, and will culminate in a hiring fair on the second day. 

All of these events are free but you must register online to attend. Don’t forget to register as many sell out.

Job Fairs in November

There is much to be done at the holidays. Don’t let your job search fall to the bottom of the to-do list.

Sure, employers and employees alike are hustling at the holidays to finish in time to head home for family celebrations, but holidays are also when many employers need to hire extra help to fill in the gaps. Now is a great time to swoop in, work hard and show employers you have what it takes even in the busiest of seasons.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation continues to host military and military spouse only job fairs at several locations across the nation every month. Employers at each fair attend because they know the talent and skillset that military spouses can offer.

And yes, they know they may only have you around for a year or two. They hire military spouses because they know they are worth it, even if only for a short while.

In November, the foundation is hosting an unusual event, a legal networking reception for military attorneys and paralegals. The event is in Washington D.C. and hosted by the American Bar Association. It should be a great place to network with employers and fellow legal professionals.

The foundation should be releasing its 2018 hiring fair schedule in the coming weeks. Check their website often to get a jump on the newest events and register early.

March: In Like a Lion, Out with a Job!

Spring is nearly here. After a mild winter in many parts of the nation, you may be itching to get out of the house and back into the workforce.

So, polish up that resume, pick out a business-like outfit and don't forget to click the link and register. These job fairs fill up quickly and rarely take attendees at the door.

 

Good luck!
