The VA sponsored Job Fairs are ramping it up, I'm sure the others they will hold will have same and probably expand to the other Veterans Job Fairs already being held the past couple of years by other organizations.
WASHINGTON – June 18, 2012 - Veterans needing important military documents for job applications will be able to instantly obtain them while at the Detroit VA for Vets Hiring Fair through the joint Department of Defense/Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) online portal, eBenefits.
VA will have personnel available at the hiring fair to help Veterans and Servicemembers register for a free premium eBenefits account and print documents that often accompany a federal job application, such as military discharge records and VA-generated letters, like civil service preference letters.
“Having the correct documents in hand when applying for federal careers can be the difference between getting an offer and not getting an interview,” said Under Secretary for Benefits Allison A. Hickey. “eBenefits.gov ensures every Veteran and Servicemember has instant access to these important documents and can put their best foot forward.”
VA is hosting three major events at Detroit’s Cobo Center June 26-29: The VA for Vets Hiring Fair, the Veteran Open House, and the National Veterans Small Business Conference and Expo. The events are expected to attract thousands of Veterans, business owners and federal employees, with an economic impact estimated at $11 million for the city.
More than 22,000 federal, and private-sector job openings across the country will be available at the free Veteran Hiring Fair June 26-28. VA will bring together partners like the First Lady’s “Joining Forces” initiative and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, along with private sector companies, during the fair. Not only will the fair provide Veterans an opportunity to showcase their skills to potential employers, it will also assist Veterans with resume preparation, interview techniques and career coaching. VA hosted a similar event Jan. 18 in Washington, D.C., which attracted over 4,100 Veterans and resulted in over 2,600 on-the-spot interviews and more than 500 tentative job offers. read more>>>
