(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center held a job fair on Wednesday, April 30, to help connect companies with ready-to-hire veterans and their loved ones.
Some of the more than 30 companies looking to hire on Wednesday included the Colorado Department of Corrections, Spectrum, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, and Phil Long Dealerships.
“The biggest thing you want to do is you want to make that contact with that recruiter. So that when your resume does come across his or her desk, they’ve gone, ‘Oh, I’ve already met John, you know, I’ve already talked to him. I know who he is. I think he’ll be a good fit. So let’s go ahead and bring him in for an interview,'” said Jon Dix, Director of Transition Employment at Mt. Carmel. “And that’s the whole purpose of this, is just to get that job interview.”
If you missed Wednesday’s event and have questions about the next one coming up, you can contact the Veterans Service Center at (719) 309-4768.
