  • Milicruit nationwide virtual career fair for veterans and military spouses on
    Monday, September 12th, 2011.

      Milicruit is a fully interactive virtual recruitment environment that essentially brings the career
     fair to the employer and veteran. In Milicruit, a veteran can build a profile including their
     resume, profile, and picture. They can walk the exhibit hall, visit employer booths, view/apply
     for jobs, chat live with hiring managers, and perhaps even score a live video interview.

     Milicruit already has over 90 Fortune 500 employers and government agencies who will be
     participating, and we now want to get as many veterans registered as we can to attend. The
     last event on June 23rd had over 21,000 veterans attend in just 5 hours, and for this event
     we are shooting for at least 30,000 We need your help and ask that you all send this out via
     email through your network.

     Be sure to check out the:
      Attendee Guide PDF and Best Practices Guide PDF available on the
     veteranscareerfair.com Website.
