Veterans job fair Thursday

The military-to-civilian recruiting firm, RecruitMilitary, will present a free job fair for job seekers who have military backgrounds in Oklahoma City 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Thursday at the Coca-Cola Bricktown Events Center.

RecruitMilitary urges all job seekers — veterans who already have civilian work experience, men and women who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, members of the National Guard and reserves and military spouses — to attend.

The event will be the 18th of 104 RecruitMilitary Career Fairs scheduled for 2008. RecruitMilitary will produce another career fair in Oklahoma City July 31.

More than 20 veteran-friendly organizations will conduct one-on-one interviews with the job seekers. Organizations will include corporate employers, law-enforcement agencies and other government employers, educational institutions, veterans service agencies and veterans associations.
