Employers looking for stars at Dallas job fair
The home of the NHL’s Dallas Stars will be the site for a career event for current and former military servicemembers and their spouses on Tuesday.
The American Legion is a partner in the U.S Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes job expo at Dallas’ American Airlines Arena on Jan. 31.
The expo includes an employment workshop from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., where job seekers will be able to meet with a team of hiring experts.
This Hiring Our Heroes employment workshop is led by HR and workforce professionals, and covers a variety of topics including résumé building, networking and interview tips, taking into account the job seeker's military background and lifestyle. Hiring Our Heroes digital tools are also integrated into the workshop curriculum.
After the workshop, a hiring fair will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature prospective employers seeking to hire veterans and their spouses.
Current military personnel, veterans and their families are welcome to attend. Attendees should come with their résumés in hand, and be prepared to network or even interview on the spot.
No registration is necessary; however, registering for the event allows job seekers to upload their résumés to be viewed by employers ahead of time. All registered veterans and military spouses are also eligible to receive up to two free tickets to attend that evening’s game between the Stars and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Tickets are limited.
