🔭 Los Angeles Job Fairs Coming Up! 🎄
Seasons greetings, fellow Jobcasers! As the new year approaches, there are tons of job fairs scheduled for early December. Following is a list of some prominent ones I've found online. They are sponsored by various employment development organizations including the Diversity Career Group and the Veteran Support Initiative.
For Jobcasers outside of Los Angeles, be sure to search for job fairs in your area. Job fairs are excellent ways to cut through the application waiting game and jump start your next career.
Making an impression in-person, and getting your resume in a hiring manager's hand is far more direct than shooting your resume into the void!
Best of luck, fellow Jobcasers!

IMPORTANT, WATCH WHAT YOU SAY! [IBYC]
¡Read Without Failure!
I'm telling you the truth...
Most likely, you've heard this saying over 1,001 times again and again. Right? That is...
"What you say with your mouth, has a tremendous impact of what's recreated in return. As a result, this life you subsequently live."
Once you say..."I can't find a decent job to save my life." Friends, I hope you live a long time, because your spoken words produce that truth.
Your negative words will minimize your efforts which may appear a bent or damaged nails.(See illustration below.)
Watch what you say!

How to capitalize on your military background
Here's how to capitalize on your military background:
Identify transferable skills: Analyze your military roles and responsibilities. Extract skills like leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, adaptability, discipline, and time management. These are highly sought after in the civilian workforce. Reframe your experience: Instead of listing military jargon and acronyms on your resume, translate your accomplishments into civilian-friendly language.
1 For example, instead of "Led a squad of 12 soldiers in combat operations," say "Managed a team of 12 personnel to achieve mission-critical objectives in high-pressure environments." Highlight your soft skills: Employers value strong communication, interpersonal skills, and the ability to work effectively in diverse teams. Your military experience likely provided ample opportunities to develop these skills, so be sure to emphasize them. Leverage veteran resources: Organizations like the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and veteran-focused career services offer workshops, resume writing assistance, and networking opportunities to help veterans transition into civilian careers. By effectively translating your military skills and experience, you can showcase your value to potential employers and increase your chances of landing a fulfilling civilian job. #veterans #jobsearch #interview
I am 77 years old and looking for steady employment, which I have been unable to find since I was 75. I will be 78 in December. I have years as a security officer from way back. I recently finished a extension course, Security Level II with Texas A&M Engineering Extension. My license is long expired. Numerous companies in the area are seeking licensened guards, but do not want to license them. I am a former Army MP. #veterans
One potential challenge of working for the US Department of Veterans Affairs could be the complex bureaucracy that comes with working for a large government organization.
