December Spouse Hiring Fairs Limited

If you want to attend a military spouse only hiring fair in December, you may be out of luck.

The popular hiring fairs are held around the country and sponsored by the U.S. Chamber Foundation. The employers who attend are there to hire military spouses because they recognize the assets these men and women can bring to their companies.

In December, there are only three events, nationwide: in San Antonio, Miami and through a virtual hiring fair.

If you’ve never attended a virtual hiring fair, this is a fantastic opportunity to try it. You attend online by logging in and “visiting” the virtual booths posted by each employer. They are online in real time to answer questions too.

Because this is a virtual job fair, it means there will be employers from across the nation. And, as a bonus, you don’t have to bundle up and head out into the cold.

Don’t forget to register and have a digital copy of your resume ready to fire off to a recruiter!

For links to the upcoming virtual job fair and events through the rest of December, please see below:
