Employers come to job fair to hire veterans for Virginia jobsSunday, April 15th, 2012Many household name-employers are planning on attending a job fair in order to hire veterans for Virginia jobs. These companies will participate in the Corporate Gray Military-to-Civilian Job Fair at the Virginia Beach Convention Center on Friday, April 20th. This military-friendly event, sponsored by Corporate Gray, is especially for separating, retiring, former, or retired military personnel of all ranks and services, including current and former members of the military reserves and National Guard, and their family members seeking employment. Corporate Gray, a military-to-civilian transition firm, indicates that the companies attending this event are committed to hiring veterans because each employer has paid a registration fee to meet military job seekers who may attend for free. These companies value the military training, experience, and skills that veterans bring to the workplace. After a previous Corporate Gray Job Fair, a Lockheed Martin recruiter indicated “On a scale of 1 (low) to 5 (high), candidate fit was a 5.” Carl Savino, President of Corporate Gray, said, “The men and women leaving the Armed Forces have skills which are directly transferable to the civilian work world. Employers can find disciplined, motivated team players and leaders who want to learn the mission and work together to accomplish it. They want trained and experienced personnel and they need employees who adapt well to change, as all military members do when they take on new assignments.” Defense contractors and government agencies can also find candidates with active DoD security clearances and people who have experience with specific defense systems.
