Here’s what fellow veterans and military spouses say about their experiences with RecruitMilitary:
Build Skills and Confidence for the Civilian Job Search
Your military experience is valuable, but translating that experience into language civilian employers understand can take practice. RecruitMilitary’s career resources, mentorship, and DoW SkillBridge opportunities can help you build the skills and confidence to approach the civilian job market.
“After serving 30 years in the Marine Corps, transitioning into the civilian workforce was both exciting and unfamiliar. Through your guidance, mentorship, and the SkillBridge Program, I learned how to effectively translate my military experience into language that civilian employers understand and value.
More importantly, you helped me gain confidence throughout the job search process. From improving my resume and LinkedIn presence to understanding how recruiters think, networking effectively, and interviewing with confidence, every lesson became a valuable part of my transition. Those skills directly contributed to me receiving and accepting a position that I am truly excited about.”

Meet Employers at a Virtual Career Fair
Career fairs give you an opportunity to connect directly with employers, ask questions, and practice talking about your experience. Virtual events can make that process more accessible.
“The virtual job fair was so easy to navigate. I could participate from my phone, which was helpful for me. I am an introvert by nature, so I was able to slip into some of the employer chat rooms and move at my own pace. As I became more familiar with the process, I started marketing myself to the different employers in the various rooms. It felt like just having a conversation.”

Connect With Employers at an In-Person Career Fair
An in-person career fair provides networking opportunities and access to roles you might not discover through an online job search alone. It’s also a chance to learn how your military experience can apply to industries and roles you may not have considered.
“I liked the variety of employers there, and I absolutely loved the QR code for a resume; much better than carrying paper resumes around or trying to email it after.
It was a well-coordinated event. I did about three laps around the exhibitor space to see which companies were represented.
I stopped at a construction booth even though I have no construction background whatsoever. I wasn’t an engineer. But the employer at the booth articulated how program management in the military is no different than running a job site or running a construction run or whatever the case may be.”

“The DAV | RecruitMilitary job fair was absolutely critical to my success, because I wouldn’t have found this company without it. I was just doing regular job searches on different websites and researching on my own; I didn’t even know about this opportunity before I attended the job fair.
I really appreciated the personalized care I received from RecruitMilitary, like helping ensure my resume was up to date, and that I had my ‘ducks in a row’ before the job fair.”

“At the end of the day, you want to come home to enjoy a better quality of life and not necessarily pursue just a dollar amount. I found myself in that position—where I had to balance quality of life with the time commitment but wanted to stay attached to military and Navy work. And that’s what led me to RecruitMilitary. They were able to successfully match my background with a position that was available locally. My quality of life was exponentially improved.”
