"We are pleased to provide these companies with access to the widest network of highly qualified veteran job candidates, who are looking for meaningful civilian career opportunities," said Tim Best, spokesman for RecruitMiltiary.
In addition to former servicemen and women, National Guard and military reserve personnel, the fair will highlight opportunities for their spouses. RecruitMilitary estimates the number of unemployed or under-employed military spouses nationwide is over 500,000.
In the last two years, the organization has held 10 job fairs in Riverside, with a total of 2,277 attendees and more than 300 exhibitors on hand, officials said.
