Serving Those Who Served

Frank Taylorís first MilitaryStars Career Expo was also his last. The former Army Staff Sergeant had been at a loss in his job search since transitioning out of the Army months prior.

ìI had spent the last four months on major employment websites and nothing,î said Frank. When he came across MilitaryStars, a veteran-owned military career expo company, however, Frankís adventures in online job searching came abruptly and thankfully to an end.

After registering for a MilitaryStars event in Dallas, TX ñ much like the career expo slated for Jan. 23rd in Dallas ñ Frank received a call from an employer several days before the actual hiring event, subsequently set up an interview with Baker Hughes, a measurement-while-drilling oilfield services company, then attended the event, had a successful interview and was ultimately handed the first employment offer of his job search.

ìI canít believe it,î said Frank of his MilitaryStars experience. ìThis is a dream job and because of MilitaryStarsí expertise, itís mine. In one week MilitaryStars connected me with an employer and I am about to embark on a job with a salary I could have never imagined.î

ìThatís the most fulfilling part of our mission at MilitaryStars,î said CEO Hal Fischer. ìWhen we watch someone whoís served this country then go and walk into a venue with 40-plus military-friendly employers, and later walk out with a quality job and potential career track, well, thatís when we know we work in the right business for the right reasons,î stated Fischer, a 10-yr. US Air Force veteran himself.

Itís with this success that MilitaryStars stands poised to deliver hundreds of jobs to military veterans throughout the region at its Southwest Regional Career Expo on Jan. 23 from 12pm ñ 5pm at the Crowne Plaza Hotel ñ Dallas Market Center.

ìFor hundreds of candidates like Frank Taylor, the career expo in Dallas, TX on Jan. 23 will be the catalyst for their new careers in the civilian employment world,î said Fischer.

The best part about this story, though, is that with MilitaryStars, this isnít atypical; rather, itís the norm. Hundreds of candidates come to regional career expos throughout the country, and hundreds leave with interviews scheduled and jobs offered. Point blank, candidates get jobs at MilitaryStars events.

Employers indicate the same. Post-event surveys note that companies will extend 100-200 job offers from attending a MilitaryStars event, and over 90 percent of the military-friendly companies attending career expos would recommend attending to other employers. Point blank, companies find quality employees at MilitaryStars events.

MilitaryStars attributes this success to not only finding the right candidates, but finding the right employers as well. Across the board, companies and government agencies like Lockheed Martin, KBR, US Customs and Border Protection, The Freeman Companies, Wal-mart, Orion International, the US Secret Service and ñ of course ñ Baker Hughes attend MilitaryStars events because they know that transitioning military and veterans will ìdramatically increase the talent pool of employers,î said Fischer.

MilitaryStars, a veteran-owned military hiring event company, furthers its mission to assist transitioning military and veterans in finding civilian jobs via regional career expos throughout the United States. To learn more about attending, please visit www.militarystars.com, or call (800) 775-1415.
