The Milicruit and Hire Heroes Inaugural Virtual Career Fair for Veterans
CAP's Wounded Service Member Initiative would like to share the following information:
Milicruit and Hire Heroes have created a virtual career fair for veterans. Unlike traditional career fairs that require travel to an actual location, a struggle with long lines, and a short time with recruiters, the milicruit virtual career fair allows you to interact with recruiters as if in person, but from the convenience of your personal computer. The virtual career fair is available 24/7 for an entire month.
Registration and participation is FREE to all veterans! Meet with employers such as Verizon, GE, Target, Booz Allen Hamilton, and many more!
Advanced registration is required to attend the virtual career fair.
To register for the event, please visit: www.veteranscareerfair.com
