An all-star team of 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. Already in the line-up are Automotive Resource International, Assurant Group, Augusta Aerospace Corporation, Comcast Cable, Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, DeVry University, Drexel Online, Geisinger Health System, Greencastle Associates Consulting, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Liberty Resources, McKean Defense Group, Medco, Military Sealift Command, the Military Spouse Corporate Career Network, Omnilift, Sabre Systems, Smith & Solomon Driver Training, The Entrepreneur's Source, Tidewater Tech, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Veterans Benefits Administration, Veterans Upward Bound, Wal-Mart Stores, and Westinghouse Electric Company.
RecruitMilitary will produce the 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 (MSCCN).
More than 500 organizations attended 45 RecruitMilitary Career Fairs in 2007. At those events, an average of 30-plus organizations interviewed an average of over 325 job seekers. RecruitMilitary Career Fairs conducted in 2006 and 2007 generated television coverage by CNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN; radio coverage by ESPN and numerous regional stations; and articles in metropolitan and local newspapers.
