The Military Veterans Resource Center invites all job-seeking veterans to attend the fifth annual “New Year, New Career” military career fair Jan. 18. The career fair is free of charge for attendees and will feature more than 40 of Miami Valley’s top employers. The event will take place at the Hope Hotel, located at 10823 Chidlaw Road adjacent to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. It will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“Companies across industries will be looking for qualified veterans to fill immediate openings,” said Len Proper, executive director of Military Veterans Resource Center. “Last year, more than 100 military job seekers attended. Many received interview invitations on the spot and were quickly hired.”

Participants should bring their resume and be prepared to speak with potential employers about their skill sets and experiences. Professionals will also be on hand to review resumes and help attendees with their interview skills.

Veterans interested in attending the career fair can pre-register by contacting Kelley Koons at 937-329-9559, or kelley.koons@milvetsrc.org.
