DALLAS - Feb. 9, 2015 - PRLog -- America’s Future Series (http://www.americas-fs.org/#!2015-military-hiring-fair-employment-ro/c1i7d) (AFS) and Dallas Baptist University (DBU) hosts the second Military Hiring Fair and Career CoachingFebruary 10-11, 2015.  All prior and current Armed Forces Service Members and their spouses are welcome to participate in this two-day event.  This event is FREE to the attendees, and registration (http://www.americas-fs.org/#!2015-military-hiring-fair-employment-ro/c1i7d) is suggested.

As thousands of active duty military return to civilian life, it is vitally important that the skills, abilities, experience and leadership these men and women have in great abundance be utilized to the fullest extent possible.  Not only are these Americans deserving of our support, they are qualified, capable and committed.  American companies need their ethics, character, drive and dedication to keep them competitive globally. No other natural resource we are blessed with can do as much good for our nation.

August 2014 was the first Military Hiring Fair and first partnership between AFS and DBU.  Results were phenomenal, with double the national placement of 18%+.  Candidates were coached and prepared for the interviews and real jobs were offered.  This Hiring Fair is anticipated to be even better as another “Coaching Day” has been added to even better prepare the candidates.  Coaching sessions will be led by JPMorgan Chase and Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) and 1:1 coaching will be available from Allies In Service and Dallas HR.  Registration (http://www.americas-fs.org/#!2015-military-hiring-fair-em...) is requested.

Over 55 corporations will come together at DBU’s main campus in Dallas, TX for the two-day event. The employers have commented that this Hiring Fair has not been a waste of time for them.  The agenda is as follows:
Day 1 - Feb 10, 2015    2 Career Coaching Workshops, 1:00- 4:30 pm & 4:30-8pm
