By: JOHN ANASTASI Over a 12-year corporate financial consulting career, Richard Sleutaris got used to always working one job while another waited on deck. Now, it has been seven months since his last project. "I've never seen it so bad," said Sleutaris, who served in the Army during the Vietnam War. "(Freelance) contracting is so slow that I'm looking for full-time work." Sleutaris isn't the only one. Hundreds of military veterans from around the region descended on Citizens Bank Park in South Philadelphia on Thursday for a job fair dedicated to former members of the armed services. Ohio-based RecruitMilitary, which hosted a similar event at the park in March, organizes about 70 U.S. job fairs per year just for former servicemen and women and their spouses.
