Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 14, 2008 -- The military-to-civilian recruiting firm RecruitMilitary will present a free hiring event for job seekers who have military backgrounds in Austin on Thursday, May 15. This event, the RecruitMilitary Career Fair, will take place from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Frank Erwin Center, the basketball home of the University of Texas Longhorns. RecruitMilitary urges all job seekers who have military backgrounds to attend--veterans who already have civilian work experience, men and women who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, members of the National Guard and reserves, and military spouses.

More than 20 veteran-friendly organizations will conduct one-on-one interviews with the job seekers -- organizations that will include corporate employers, law-enforcement agencies and other government employers, educational institutions, veterans service agencies, and veterans associations. Already in the line-up are the Austin Police Department, DeVry University, Freeport-McMoran Copper and Gold, Garda Cash Logistics, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Luminant, MasTec, the Military Spouse Corporate Career Network, the Nevada Department of Public Safety, New York Life, Oldcastle Architectural Products Group, Primerica, SAIC, The Entrepreneur's Source, TNT Cranes and Rigging, the Veterans Benefits Administration, Wackenhut Corporation, and Woodmen of the World.

RecruitMilitary will produce the career fair in cooperation with The American Legion; HireVetsFirst, a unit of the United States Department of Labor; and the Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN).

More than 500 organizations attended 45 RecruitMilitary Career Fairs in 2007. At those events, an average of 30-plus organizations interviewed an average of over 325 job seekers. RecruitMilitary Career Fairs conducted in 2006 and 2007 generated television coverage by CNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN; radio coverage by ESPN and numerous regional stations; and articles in metropolitan and local newspapers.

Congress chartered The American Legion in 1919.
