USC Veteran Hiring Event:

Serving Those Who Have Served

Wednesday, March 20, 2013

The University of Southern California is proud to sponsor a veteran hiring event entitled “Serving Those Who Have Served,” being hosted on the USC campus on March 20.

“Serving Those Who Have Served” is designed to make a real difference for the military and veteran community of Southern California. The primary focus will be on connecting you -- a service member or veteran -- with real jobs and not just informational interviews. It will be a different kind of event than a traditional 'job fair.' The intent of this event is to provide you with real access to employers with open jobs.

Event Focus & Agenda
 The focus of this day-long event will be two-fold:

• Morning Educational Sessions (Registration, 8:00 am; Sessions, 9:00 - 11:30 am): Educational sessions to help you communicate with employers, as well as translate your military experience and skills to the corporate environment.

• Afternoon Hiring Event (Lunch, 12:00 pm - 12:40 pm; Event, 1:00 - 5:00 pm): A hiring event where you can meet employers, hiring managers, and other recruitment professionals to discuss positions for which they are actively recruiting. (Space will be available for employers to review resumes or conduct interviews with qualified veteran applicants.)

Survey

During registration, you will be asked to complete a voluntary survey regarding employment issues during your online registration process. The purpose of this survey, conducted by the USC Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans & Military Families (CIR), will be to gather information on your:

• Work skills and desired employment -- This information will be shared with the employers attending the event to help match job applicants with open positions.

• Military and job search experiences -- This information will help inform research on veterans employment, unemployment, and underemployment, and will remain CONFIDENTIAL.

Resume
Please bring 30 copies of your resume to the event. You will have many interviews and want to make sure you have enough resumes to go around. Some resume support will be available at the event, but it will be on a first come first serve basis.
