Original Story
The military-to-civilian recruiting firm RecruitMilitary
will present a free hiring event for job seekers who
have military backgrounds Nov. 1, in Baltimore, Md.
This event, the RecruitMilitary Career Fair, will take
place from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. on the South Club Level
of M&T Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens. The career
fair will be open to veterans who already have civilian
work experience, men and women who are transitioning
from active duty to civilian life, members of the
National Guard and reserves and military spouses.
More than 30 veteran-friendly organizations will conduct
one-on-one interviews with the job seekers –
organizations that will include corporate employers, law
enforcement agencies and other government employers,
educational institutions, veterans' service agencies and
veterans' associations.
RecruitMilitary will produce the Baltimore Career Fair
in cooperation with The American Legion, HireVetsFirst
(a unit of the United States Department of Labor) and
the Military Spouse Corporate Career Network.
The event will be the 39th of 45 RecruitMilitary Career
Fairs scheduled for 2007. During each of 33 such events
produced from January through September, an average of
more than 30 organizations interviewed some 400 job
seekers.
