U.S. military veterans who are looking for a civilian job will get their chance a job fair in Seattle.
Mike Rollins, a VP at RecruitMilitary, says there are challenges for veterans returning to civilian work. “I think that veterans just don’t know how to transition their skill set over to the civilian community.”
That’s where he comes into play – Rollins is one of the people that aims to help bridge the gap between the military and civilian sectors.
It starts something as simple as resume, according to Rollins. “Don’t come to an interview bringing a resume that has tons of military acronyms.”
Microsoft, Amazon and the FAA will be among those out at Thursday’s job fair at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
