Seattle Virtual Career Fair for veterans Thursday

DAV and RecruitMilitary are hosting an online career fair Thursday.

The Seattle Virtual Career Fair for Veterans is being held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The free event is open to all veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses and dependents.

Job seekers can register here.

Employers include Allstate, Port of Seattle, Sound Transit, Cisco Seattle, State Farm and more.

“We’ve seen a ripple effect over the past few years of organizations across the country prioritizing diversity and veteran hiring because they see the value of bringing this type of talent to shape the future of their organization,” said Tim Best, RecruitMilitary CEO and former U.S. Army special operations attack helicopter pilot. “Companies realize that having their employees and leaders be representative of our nation’s wonderfully diverse population is critical to their success. And, they’ve discovered they can find that diversity, along with unmatched tangible skills and intangible attributes in the veteran population. Military-trained job seekers are an unmatched asset to any employer seeking diversity and hiring solutions with the most highly skilled and qualified workers in the country.”
