David Hamilton, Founder of America's Future Series (http://www.americas-fs.org)comments, "Veterans, their spouses and military personnel about to leave the service are all invited to attend our Military Hiring Fair on March 15-16, 2016 at Dallas Baptist University in Dallas.  The coaching sessions on the 15th will help focus candidates on the best jobs for them, help them tailor their resumes and even have a mock interview so they are a prepared as possible.  On the 16th, we have over 50 employers with over 2,000 jobs.  Hiring managers will be on hand to have mini interviews with qualified candidates.  Our past events have been a huge success with 20%+ placement rate which is double the national average. Please help spread the word to military personnel and their spouses about this great opportunity."

We ask that all Veteran organizations, civic organizations, newspapers, radio talk shows, social media outlets, Veterans and their families help spread the word that these employers want to hire Veterans and their spouses. Please share and visit http://www.americas-fs.org to register and let others know about this important effort to employ those who served. We need help getting the word out to Vets. Please step up to help these brave men and women.
