Norfolk Job Fair Targets Veterans

Marie Coronel reporting: Quiana Crittenden has worked her way up the ranks from enlisted to officer.

But now, after 12 years in the military, she’s looking for her first civilian job.

Crittenden says, “It’s overwhelming. Even though I have a bachelor’s degree in math. I was an officer in the Navy. It’s still just as difficult if I had only served three months in the military.”

So she’s starting her job search at the RecruitMilitary Career Fair held in Norfolk where she’s one of hundreds of veterans looking for work. With more than 40 businesses represented, job seekers can choose their second careers – from law enforcement to retail management.

At the RecruitMilitary Career Fair job seekers can fill out applications, meet with company representatives and in some cases even go through an interview. All from companies tailored for those with military experience.

A little extra help is something Robert Williams appreciates. Williams adds, “I’ve attended a number of career fairs, and this is one of the better ones.”
