Ever been to a career fair and met a struggling veteran in the parking lot? Happens more often than we'd like to admit. Met a veteran who thought transitioning to a civilian job would be smooth sailing after leaving the Army. Infantry, Drill Sergeant, Small UAS operator, Instructor – all great skills. What job did he land after leaving the Army? Nothing at first... Then, a temp position at a grocery warehouse. These are the people we meet. Veterans who are healthy, doing the work to chase down opportunities. He spent his day working the doors and connections, then heard about a job fair on base and bolted out there, just a little too late. He arrived too late, hoping to catch some employers lingering. We discussed his situation and hopes for a while. I offered him my contact information, and he gladly connected. There are a few opportunities we’ll help him get in front of employers and opportunities. This is the WHY! Why I stay a little later at events like this. One time it’s a veteran having a hard time landing something, another event it might be off-post and service members weren’t authorized the time to leave to attend a job fair, with their discharge date (‘Final Out’) looming. They all still show up, hoping for that chance someone – some company rep – some connection, might still be there to give them a chance at a future. So, if you're setting up a table/booth at a job or career fair and pack up early, were you really there to find a worthy veteran, or just checking a block and rushing out to get home before 5pm? #VeteranSupport #CareerFair #TransitionSuccess #StayALittleLonger

Follow up to my earlier post. Even though the job fair is virtual, the principles still apply as if it were brick and mortar. In the comments, is a great article by SULTAN CAMP that will help you avoid those common pitfalls. #HRMilitary

Join me as I reflect on this pivotal experience and the lessons it taught me. #HospitalityUnplugged #RussellOfHotels #HospitalityJourney #CareerFairExperience #HospitalityLeadership

You're not going to want to miss our September Career Fair at Vancouver Island University! Employers and recruiters - we have just opened up employer table registration for our next large-scale Vancouver Island University Career Fair, taking place on September 13, 2024! This event takes place at the start of the new school year, when many students will be looking for employment, career, internship, and volunteer opportunities. This will be a great opportunity to promote any employment or internship opportunities with your organization to new students or soon to be graduating students looking for their career post academia. Our previous career fair in September 2023 was a great success, drawing in over 650 VIU students and alumni from various programs during a 4-hour period. This event provided an excellent platform for over 60 different employers to connect with a diverse and talented pool of candidates. The fair not only offered meaningful networking opportunities but also received an employer satisfaction rating of 87%. In a post-event survey, 31 respondents (half of the employers that were in attendance) anticipated to hire 40-68+ students as a result of this event. To ensure that our department is able to continue organizing events of this magnitude, and to be able to continue providing the best level of career services that we can to VIU students and our employer partners, we will be charging $100+fees/table for this upcoming career fair. In addition to being open to VIU students and alumni from all programs, members of the general public will have access to attend, to ensure that our employer partners have the opportunity to connect with as many potential candidates as possible, and that your organizations are more than satisfied with the success of this event. We only have 75 employer tables available for this 3-hour event, and I am anticipating these spots to fill-up quickly (we have already thirteen tables sell since email invites were sent), so please let me know if your organization is interested in participating and I will send you an Eventbrite link! (I am also organizing several other events in the next two months which will allow employers seeking to connect with specific student groups about internship and volunteer opportunities to do so - please let me know if you would be interested in any such event as well!)
