Middle Tennessee Job Fair for Veterans set for December 15th

Tennessee Military DepartmentNashville, TN – Maj. Gen. Max Haston, Tennessee’s Adjutant General, has announced a Middle Tennessee Job Fair to be held in Smyrna Thursday, December 15th, for National Guard members, Reservists, spouses, and all veterans.

The Job Fair will be at the National Guard’s Regional Training Institute, Building 500, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

“The military is like a big family,” said Maj. Gen. Haston. “We’re all taught to look out for our buddies, and hosting Job Fairs for our military families is one way of doing just that.  Some service members have returned from Iraq or Afghanistan to find the place where they used to work is no longer in business, and now they’re out there looking. We’re trying to help them every way we can.”

“This is an opportunity not only for our Guard and Reserve members and spouses, but all veterans,” pointed out Marvin Wells, state Executive Director for the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR). “We will have 45 companies who have job openings and are eager to speak to individuals with a military background”.
