Fort Eustis job fair to provide window of opportunity to job seekers

By Senior Airman Jason J. Brown 633rd Air Base Wing Public Affairs

The Fort Eustis Army Career Alumni Program is teaming with Army Community Service and the Virginia Employment Commission to host a job fair, Sept. 20 at the Fort Eustis, Va. Club from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The job fair is open to all active duty Service members, National Guardsmen, reservists, retirees and spouses, and will feature more than 50 employers seeking qualified candidates in a variety of career fields.

Employers present will include federal agencies, government contractors and private sector employers in law enforcement, medical and associated fields.

Edgar Williams, a Local Veteran Employment Representative with the VEC, said job seekers should "come dressed for success and with resumes in hand." However, children will not be allowed at the job fair.

"It is a great opportunity for job seekers to find meaningful employment," Williams said. "Employers have job openings for qualified candidates, and an individual must sell his or her talents and skills to the benefit of the organization."

Williams also suggests job seekers conduct employer research to match their skills to available job openings.

For more information about the upcoming job fair, call Williams at (757) 878-0906 or Reba Gordon at (757) 878-2881.
