RecruitMilitary Veteran Job Fair Coming to Chicago on April 21
RecruitMilitary job fairs maintain a track record of helping veterans find meaningful employment," said President and CEO Peter Gudmundsson. "Just last year, 56.3% of veteran job seekers expected to secure an interview as a result of their participation in a RecruitMilitary job fair and employers were expected to extend as many as 38,700 interviews and more than 12,000 job offers."
In October of 2015, the RecruitMilitary Chicago event connected more than 309 veteran job seekers with 74 exhibitors, including Apple, Inc., NBC Universal, and L3 Communications. Participating companies expected to conduct up to 493 interviews and make up to 152 job offers as a result of that career fair.
RecruitMilitary has produced veteran job fairs since 2006, and has held 18 events in Chicago, drawing 4,799 attendees and 788 exhibitors. The company has produced more than 814 events in 65 cities across the country. RecruitMilitary will return to Chicago for an additional veteran career fair in October.
